Abstract
An example of a kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing includes an ultraviolet (UV) light fusing agent. The ultraviolet (UV) light fusing agent includes an aqueous vehicle; and a functionalized benzophenone that is at least partially soluble in the aqueous vehicle, the functionalized benzophenone having absorption at wavelengths ranging from about 340 nm to about 405 nm.
Claims15
A kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing, comprising:
- an ultraviolet (UV) light fusing agent, including:
- an aqueous vehicle;
- and
- a functionalized benzophenone that is at least partially soluble in the aqueous vehicle, the functionalized benzophenone having absorption at wavelengths ranging from about 340 nm to about 405 nm.
1 more element
A method for three-dimensional (3D) printing, comprising:
- applying a polymeric build material composition to form a build material layer;
- based on a 3D object model, selectively applying an ultraviolet (UV) light fusing agent on at least a portion of the build material layer, the UV light fusing agent including:
- an aqueous vehicle;
- and
- a functionalized benzophenone that is at least partially soluble in the aqueous vehicle, the functionalized benzophenone having absorption at wavelengths ranging from about 340 nm to about 405 nm;
- and
- exposing the build material layer to UV radiation to coalesce the at least the portion to form a layer of a 3D object.
