Abstract
According to examples, a brown body has from about 0.02 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a metal nanoparticle binder, in which the metal nanoparticle binder is selectively located within an area of the brown body to impart a strength greater than about 1 kPa to the area.
Claims15
A brown body comprising:
- from about 0.02 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a metal nanoparticle binder,
- wherein the metal nanoparticle binder is selectively located within an area of the brown body to impart a strength greater than about 1 kPa to the area.
A method comprising:
- spreading a layer of build material powder;
- selectively depositing from about 0.02 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a metal nanoparticle binder onto the layer of the build material powder;
- and
- applying energy at a temperature greater than about 300° C. to form a brown body;
- and
- wherein the metal nanoparticle binder is selectively located within an area of the brown body to impart a strength greater than about 1 kPa to the area.
