Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method is described. The example method includes forming a lattice anchor with a build material in a powder bed of a three-dimensional (3D) printing system. The example method also includes forming a 3D object with the build material attached to the lattice anchor.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- forming a lattice anchor with a build material in a powder bed of a three-dimensional (3D) printing system;
- and
- forming a 3D object with the build material attached to the lattice anchor.
A method, comprising:
- generating a combined model that combines a lattice anchor model and a three-dimensional (3D) object model;
- and
- forming a lattice anchor and a 3D object with a build material in a powder bed of a 3D printing system based on the combined model.
A three-dimensional (3D) printing system, comprising:
- a build material distributor;
- a controller;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions to cause the controller to:
- utilize the build material distributor to dispense the build material to form a lattice anchor;
- and
- utilize the build material distributor to dispense the build material to form a 3D object attached to the lattice anchor, the lattice anchor and 3D object being formed in a plurality of layers.
