Abstract
A kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing is described. The kit comprises a build material composition: a fusing agent composition including a radiation absorber present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 wt % to about 2.0 wt % of a total weight of the fusing agent composition, wherein the radiation absorber absorbs radiation at a wavelength range within the visible light spectrum; and a fusing assist composition including a first co-solvent: a second co-solvent; and a balance of water.

A kit for three-dimensional (3D) printing, comprising:
- a build material composition;
- a fusing agent composition including:
- a radiation absorber present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 wt % to about 2.0 wt % of a total weight of the fusing agent composition, wherein the radiation absorber absorbs radiation at a wavelength range within the visible light spectrum;
- and
- a fusing assist composition including:
- a first co-solvent;
- a second co-solvent;
- and
- a balance of water.
A method of three-dimensional (3D) printing, comprising:
- applying a build material composition to form a build material layer;
- selectively applying a fusing agent composition on a portion of the build material layer, the fusing agent composition including:
- a radiation absorber present in an amount ranging from about 0.01 wt % to about 2.0 wt % of a total weight of the fusing agent composition, wherein the radiation absorber absorbs radiation at a wavelength range within the visible light spectrum;
- selectively applying a fusing assist composition on the portion of the build material layer, the fusing assist composition including:
- a first co-solvent;
- a second co-solvent;
- and
- a balance of water;
- and
- exposing the applied fusing agent and fusing assist compositions and the portion of the build material layer to radiation at the wavelength range within the visible light spectrum to fuse the portion of the build material layer and to form a layer of a three-dimensional (3D) part.
