    Abstract: A particulate build material for three-dimensional printing can include from about 80 wt% to 100 wt% polymer particles having an average particle size from about 10 µm to about 125 µm. The polymer particles can have a polyolefin polymer backbone with from about 90 mol% to 100 mol% polypropylene polymeric units and from 0 mol% to about 10 mol% polyethylene polymeric units. The polymer particles can further include a crosslinkable component in the form of a maleic anhydride-containing side chain appended to the polyolefin polymer backbone, a thiol-containing side chain appended to the polyolefin polymer backbone, a glycidyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane compounded with the polyolefin polymer backbone, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: In some examples, an interaction module of a three-dimensional (3D) printer can include an interaction sub-module including a coupler, where the coupler is to connect to a tool, a first actuator to move the coupler in a first direction, and a second actuator to move the coupler in a second direction, and an analytics system to analyze the coupler and the tool during an interaction with a 3D object of the 3D printer, where the tool of the coupler is to interact with the 3D object of the 3D printer during a 3D print job.

    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include an array of micro-mirrors, each of the micro-mirrors being individually controllable to selectively be in a first position or a second position, and a light source to direct a pulse of light onto the array of micro-mirrors with sufficient intensity to cause micron-sized particles on a powder bed upon which the light is directed from the array of micro-mirrors to at least partially melt. Each of the micro-mirrors that is in the first position may reflect light onto a respective area on a layer of micron-sized particles to at least partially melt the micron-sized particles in the respective area and each of the micro-mirrors that is in the second position may reflect light away from the powder bed on which the micron-sized particles are supported.

    Abstract: Fusing agent(s) are described herein. In an example, a fusing agent can comprise a metal bis(dithiolene) complex, at least one electron donor compound, a polar aprotic solvent, and water. In some examples, the at least one electron donor compound can comprise at least one hindered amine light stabilizer compound. In some examples, the polar aprotic solvent can be selected from the group consisting of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 2-pyrrolidone, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and a combination thereof.
