  • Patent number: 11335074
    Abstract: According to an example, an apparatus may include a memory that may store instructions to cause a processor to generate, for each part to be fabricated in a build envelope of a 3D fabricating device, first level descriptions and second level descriptions for the part.

  • Patent number: 11292061
    Abstract: In an example of a 3D printing method, build material particles are applied to form a layer. Each build material particle includes a metal core and a metal oxide outer shell. The layer is patterned by selectively applying a reactive chemical on at least a portion of the layer to initiate a redox reaction with the metal oxide outer shells of the build material particles in contact with the reactive chemical, which reduces the metal oxide outer shells of the build material particles in contact with the reactive chemical and exposes the metal cores of the build material particles in contact with the reactive chemical. The patterned layer is exposed to rapid thermal processing to sinter the exposed metal cores to form a part layer. Any intact build material particles remain unsintered.
