Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional (3D) object, the method including forming a layer of powder, dispensing a volatile fluid on the layer of the powder, vaporizing the volatile fluid by applying an energy beam to form a trench that defines a boundary of a 3D object powder layer of the 3D object, the 3D object powder layer corresponding to a portion of the layer of the powder defined by the boundary, and adding a binder to the 3D object powder layer.

Abstract: A door striker assembly includes a base plate, a reinforcement plate and a striker wire. The base plate has a first surface and a second surface, with a first opening, and a second opening both extending from the first surface to the second surface. The first surface has an offset portion with the first opening being open to the offset portion. The reinforcement plate is dimensioned to fit within the offset portion of the first surface and has a third opening aligned with the first opening. The striker wire has a first end, a second end and a latch engaging portion located between the first end and the second end. The first end extends through the first opening and the third opening and is non-movably connected to at least one of the reinforcement plate and the base plate. The second end extends through the second opening and is non-movably connected to the base plate.
