Abstract
The present disclosure relates a method of 3-dimensional printing a printed part. The method comprises printing an inkjet dopant composition at selected locations on a layer of build material comprising polymer particles. The inkjet dopant composition comprises a dopant dispersed or dissolved in a liquid carrier. Polymer particles at selected areas of the layer of build material are then fused to form a fused polymer layer comprising the dopant. The selected areas of the layer of build material include areas of the layer of build material that have not been printed with the inkjet dopant composition.

-13. (canceled)
A 3-dimensional printing material set, comprising:
- a particulate build material comprising thermoplastic polymer particles;
- an inkjet dopant composition comprising a dopant dispersed in a liquid carrier, wherein the dopant comprises particles that are selected from at least one of photoluminescent particles, dielectric particles, magnetic particles, ceramic particles, semi-conductor particles, electrically-conducting particles and polymer nanoparticles;
- and
- an inkjet fusing composition comprising a fusing agent capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation to produce heat.
