Abstract:
According to an example, a three-dimensional (3D) printer may include a first delivery device to selectively deposit first liquid droplets onto a layer of build materials, in which the first liquid has a fusing radiation absorption property. The 3D printer may also include a fusing radiation generator to selectively emit fusing radiation at multiple ranges of wavelengths and at selected locations to selectively fuse the build materials and a controller to tune a range of wavelengths at which the fusing radiation generator is to emit fusing radiation based upon the fusing radiation absorbing property of the deposited first liquid, to determine the selected locations at which the fusing radiation at the tuned range of wavelengths is to be emitted, and to control the fusing radiation generator to selectively emit fusing radiation at the tuned range of wavelengths and onto the selected locations.
