Abstract
A three-dimensional object may be generated. First and second agent distributors may be to respectively selectively deliver a binder agent and a coalescing agent onto portions of a layer of build material. A controller may be to control the first and second agent distributors to respectively selectively deliver the binder agent and the coalescing agent onto respective first and second portions of the layer in patterns derived from data representing a slice of the three-dimensional object to be generated. The first portion having the binder agent may be to bind and solidify into a binder matrix. When energy is applied to the layer the second portion having the second agent may be to coalesce and solidify.
