IDENTIFIABLE STRUCTURES IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS

摘要

In some examples, for forming an identifiable structure within a three-dimensional (3D) object to be built by an additive manufacturing machine, a system receives a digital representation of the 3D object, the digital representation including information identifying first regions in the 3D object with a material property different from a material property of other regions in the 3D object, the first regions of the 3D object corresponding to the identifiable structure. Based on the information in the digital representation of the 3D object, the system generates print data for use in building the 3D object by the additive manufacturing machine, the print data including information specifying that a first amount of a binder agent is to be applied to a first portion of a powdered metal build material is different from a second amount of the binder agent to be applied to a second portion of the powdered metal build material, wherein the second portion is contained within the first portion.
