Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to material sets for 3D printing and methods of 3D printing. The material set can include a coalescent an organic-soluble near-infrared dye having a peak absorption wavelength from 800 nm to 1400 nm. The coalescent ink can also include water and an organic co-solvent. The material set can also include a particulate polymer formulated to coalesce when contacted by the coalescent ink and irradiated by a near-infrared energy having the peak absorption wavelength.
Abstract:
A printed object includes a modification not present in the original model of the object. The modification is included in a base layer of the object.
Abstract:
A composition for three-dimensional printing includes a precursor to a soft polymer block having a glass transition temperature (Tg) less than 50° C. and a precursor to a rigid polymer block having a Tg of at least 50° C. The precursor to the soft polymer block is a curable, cross-linkable monomer having an acrylic group, a vinyl group, or combinations thereof. The precursor to the rigid polymer block is a second curable, cross-linkable monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylate monomer, a vinyl monomer, an acrylamide monomer, a urethane monomer, and an epoxy monomer.
Abstract:
In some examples, at least one agent distributor may be to selectively deliver mixtures of coalescing agent and carrier onto portions of a layer of build material at variable coalescing agent concentrations and variable contone densities. A controller may be to control the at least one agent distributor to selectively deliver the mixture to a portion of the layer at a selected coalescing agent concentration and a selected contone density.
Abstract:
In an example implementation, a method of printing a multi-structured three-dimensional (3D) object includes forming a layer of sinterable material. The method includes processing a first portion of the sinterable material using first set of processing parameters and processing a second portion of the sinterable material using a second set of processing parameters. The processed first and second portions form, respectively, parts of a first and second structure of a multi-structured 3D object.
Abstract:
A coated silver colored colorant includes a silver colored pigment, and a primer polymer at least partially coating the silver colored pigment. The primer polymer has a glass transition temperature that is less than 40° C. A passivating polymer is attached to the primer polymer. The passivating polymer has a glass transition temperature that is greater than 40° C.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to coated photoconductors. In an example, a coated photoconductor can comprise a photoconductor including a substrate having a charge generation layer and charge transport layer adhered thereto and a top coating adhered to the photoconductor.
Abstract:
A white pigment dispersion includes 10 to 60 wt % of low effective density TiO2, 1 to 40 wt % of a latex, and the balance a dispersing medium. Inks using the low effective density TiO2 and methods for preparing the low effective density TiO2 are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Examples of the present disclosure describe a system and method for pattern-forming three-dimensional printing. According to one implementation, a layer of material curable by energy in a predetermined wavelength range is provided, and a pattern of ink opaque to energy in the predetermined wavelength range is printed onto a moveable element. Moreover, energy in the predetermined wavelength is applied through the moveable element and onto the deposited material so as to cure the material in those regions on which no ink is printed.
Abstract:
A white inkjet ink includes an anionic surfactant having a molecular weight less than 10,000, a white pigment, a latex particle, and a balance of water. The white pigment has i) a density less than 3 g/cm3, and ii) a substantially constant particle size over a predetermined time period. The substantially constant particle size ranges from about 100 nm to about 300 nm.
