There is provided a 3D printing build material container (). The container () comprises a reservoir () and a reinforcement structure (). The reservoir is to hold build material. The reinforcement structure is attached to the reservoir at at least one selected location. The reservoir and reinforcement structure are to permit reconfiguration of the container from a relatively flat configuration to an in-use configuration in which the reservoir is tillable with build material.

Build material containers

There is provided a 3D printing build material container (). The container comprises a collapsible reservoir, () a relatively rigid reinforcement structure (), a build material outlet structure () and a gas inlet structure (). The reservoir is to hold build material (). The reinforcement structure is to resist collapsing of at least one reinforced portion of the reservoir. The outlet structure is to allow build material to exit the reservoir. The inlet structure is to allow a gas to enter the reservoir.

Build material container

A build material container for use in 3D printing includes a reservoir to hold build material and a build material outlet structure. The container also includes a throughput structure to allow air to enter into the reservoir through the throughput opening, wherein said throughput opening provides access to build material in and out of the reservoir.
