Abstract: A device comprising a material distributor and a fluid dispenser. The material distributor to distribute a build material, layer-by-layer, to form a 3D object. A fluid dispenser to selectively dispense in at least some of the respective layers a first fluid agent and a second fluid agent. The first fluid agent, comprising a first color, is to be dispensed at first selectable voxel locations to affect a first material property of a first portion of the 3D object. The second fluid agent, comprising a second color, is to be dispensed at second selectable voxel locations to at least partially disguise the first color of the first portion of the 3D object.

Abstract: A method comprises moving a robotic structure to a first pose such that an end-effector of the robotic structure has an absolute position comprising an absolute location and absolute orientation. The method comprises providing a calibration artefact on the end-effector. The method comprises determining at least three planes coinciding with at least three respective surface planes of the calibration artefact, by measuring absolute locations of a plurality of points on the calibration artefact. The method comprises determining the absolute location and absolute orientation of the end-effector, when the robotic structure is in the position based on the determined at least three planes. The method also comprises calibrating the first pose of the robotic structure using the determined absolute location and absolute orientation of the end-effector.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a printhead assembly containing a housing supporting a printhead. The printhead may have nozzles that are to fire droplets of a functional agent onto a layer of build material particles along respective flight paths to form sections of a 3D object from the build material particles, an array of light emission devices to direct respective light beams in the respective flight paths, and an array of photon detectors to detect respective light beams directed from a light source of the array of light emission devices, the light emission devices and the photon detectors being supported on the housing. The apparatus may also include a controller to determine whether any of the nozzles is operating improperly based upon whether the photon detectors detected the light beams and to output an instruction regarding an improperly operating nozzle in response to a determination that the nozzle is operating improperly.

Abstract: According to an example, an apparatus may include an agent delivery device to selectively deliver an agent onto a layer of build material particles. The apparatus may also include an energy source to apply energy onto the layer of build material particles to selectively fuse the build material particles in the layer based upon the locations at which the agent was delivered and a chamber formed of a plurality of walls, in which the agent delivery device and the energy source are housed inside the chamber. The apparatus may further include a vapor source to supply vapor into the chamber to wet the build material particles inside the chamber.

Abstract: Techniques for classifying records in a dataset are described. The method includes identifying a set of features of a target record and assigning a scoring metric to each feature in the set of features. The method also includes processing the set of features based on the scoring metric to obtain a reduced subset of features and an expanded subset of features. The method also includes searching a store of electronic records using the reduced subset of features to obtain a reduced subset of electronic records. The method also includes searching the reduced subset of electronic records using the expanded subset of features to obtain a set of matching electronic records.

Abstract: An example system includes a stage identification portion to determine a stage in a progression of a progressive identifier, and an identifier encoding portion to encode or read the progressive identifier. A number or percentage of bits of the progressive identifier encoded, or read as encoded, by the identifier encoding portion is uniquely associated with the stage in the progression.

Abstract: According to an example, a three-dimensional (3D) printer may include a first delivery device to selectively deposit a fusing agent onto a layer of build materials and a second delivery device to deposit coolant droplets at tuned drop weights onto the layer of build materials. The 3D printer may also include a controller to control the second delivery device to selectively deposit the coolant droplets at the tuned drop weights onto selected areas of the build material layer, in which the drop weights of the selectively deposited coolant droplets are tuned to provide a thermal balance between multiple areas of the build material layer during application of fusing radiation onto the build material layer.

Abstract: An example method is described in which a processor receives a first plurality of symbols selected from a first set of symbols, translates the first plurality of symbols into a second plurality of symbols selected from an M-ary cyclic symbol set, and writes the second plurality of symbols to a surface. An additional example method is described in which a processor captures an image of at least a portion of a surface, detects a first plurality of symbols from the image, where the first plurality of symbols comprises symbols selected from an M-ary cyclic symbol set, translates the first plurality of symbols into a second plurality of symbols selected from a second set of symbols, and performs at least one task responsive to the second plurality of symbols.

Abstract: In an example, a method is described that includes generating a model for fabricating an item via an additive manufacturing process. The model includes a first region defining the item and a second region defining a sacrificial artifact whose presence disguises a physical characteristic of the item. The item and the sacrificial artifact are then fabricated in a common build batch via the additive manufacturing process.
