Patent number: 11097472Abstract: At least one agent distributor may be to selectively deliver coalescing agent onto portions of a layer of build material at a first density and at a second density lower than the first density. A controller may be to control the at least one agent distributor to selectively deliver the coalescing agent at the first and second densities onto respective first and second portions of the layer in respective first and second patterns derived from data representing the three-dimensional object to be generated, so that when energy is applied to the layer the build material may coalesce and solidify to form a slice of the three-dimensional object in accordance with the first pattern. The second portion may be in proximity to a boundary of the first portion. Presence of the coalescing agent in the second portion may be to prevent at least some heat from flowing away from the first portion when the energy is applied.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Bernardo A. Gutierrez, Jacob T. Wright, Michael A. Novick
