Abstract:
Described herein are methods and systems for printing a three-dimensional object. In an example, a method for printing a three-dimensional object can comprise: (i) a metallic build material being applied; (ii) a binder fluid being applied on at least a portion of the metallic build material; (iii) the selectively applied binder fluid can be flash fused to bind the metallic build material and the selectively applied binder fluid by application of an energy flux having an energy density of from about 0.5 J/cm2 to about 20 J/cm2 for less than about 1 second. In the example, (i), (ii), and (iii) can be repeated at least one time to form the three-dimensional object. The binder fluid can comprise a liquid vehicle and polymer particles dispersed in the liquid vehicle.
