Abstract:
Examples of a 3D printing apparatus arranged to perform a print operation using build material, and methods of operating such a 3D printing apparatus, are described. In one case, a 3D printer is arranged to perform a print operation using build material whilst a build material temperature sensed by the printer is below a threshold temperature of the build material. The printer is arranged to obtain a threshold temperature indicator in advance of a respective print operation.
