  • Patent number: 11890809
    Abstract: A 3D printing kit can include a powder bed material comprising from about 80 wt % to 100 wt % polymer particles, a fusing agent to selectively apply to the powder bed material, and a hardener to selectively apply to the powder bed material. The polymeric particles can include a polyalkylene backbone with both ethylene and propylene polymerized monomeric units with from 2 mol % to 15 mol % of the polymerized monomeric units include a grafted side chain having an epoxide moiety. The fusing agent can include water and a radiation absorber that absorbs electromagnetic energy and converts the electromagnetic energy to heat. The hardener can be present in the fusing agent or can be included in a hardening agent that is separate from the fusing agent.

  • Patent number: 11383435
    Abstract: In an example of a method for three-dimensional (3D) printing, a build material composition is applied to form a build material layer. The build material composition includes a polyamide. The polyamide is selectively melted, based on a 3D object model, in at least a portion of the build material layer to form a molten portion including molten polyamide. An epoxy agent is selectively applied, based on the 3D object model, on the molten portion of the build material layer. The epoxy agent includes a polyfunctional epoxy, which crosslinks the molten polyamide in the molten portion.
