  • Publication number: 20220080508
    Abstract: In an example implementation, a method of determining liquid agent amounts in 3D printing includes measuring density levels of a build material at locations across a build material layer and determining if the measured density levels vary from expected density levels. For locations where measured density levels vary from expected density levels, an adjusted liquid agent dose is determined, and for locations where measured density levels do not vary from expected density levels, an expected liquid agent dose is determined. The adjusted and expected liquid agent doses are deposited onto the layer at locations corresponding with the adjusted and expected liquid agent doses.

  • Patent number: 11130876
    Abstract: An example inkjet primer fluid includes an alkoxysilane, a surfactant, a co-solvent, and a balance of water; and is at least substantially colorless. In an example method, a primer fluid, including an alkoxysilane, a surfactant, a co-solvent, and a balance of water, is thermal inkjet printed from a thermal inkjet printhead to form a silicon dioxide film on a resistor. Then, a jettable composition, including suspended nanoparticles, is thermal inkjet printed from the thermal inkjet printhead. In another example method, suspended nanoparticles, an alkoxysilane, and a growth mediator are combined to form a mixture. The mixture is heated to a temperature ranging from about 60° C. to about 80° C. and stirred for about 12 hours to about 36 hours to form silicon dioxide coated, suspended nanoparticles. Then, a surfactant, a zwitterionic stabilizer, a co-solvent, and a balance of water are added to the mixture to form a stabilized, jettable composition.
