Abstract
According to an example, a three-dimensional (3D) printed heater may include a part body formed of fused thermoplastic polymer particles and an electrically resistive element formed of a matrix of conductive particles interspersed between a matrix of thermoplastic polymer particles. The conductive particles and the thermoplastic polymer particles may be provided at respective densities to cause the electrically resistive element to have a predetermined resistance level. The 3D printed heater may also include electrical contacts connected to the electrically resistive element, in which a current is to be applied through the electrically resistive element via the electrical contacts to cause the electrically resistive element to generate a predefined level of heat.
