Abstract:
In one example, a system for loading a build material powder supply receptacle for a 3D printer includes a reconditioner having a container and a heater to burn unwanted residue from used build material powder in the container, to form reconditioned build material powder, a conveyor operatively connected to the reconditioner to convey used build material powder to the container, and a dispenser operatively connected to the reconditioner to dispense reconditioned build material powder from the container into the supply receptacle.
