Abstract
In an example implementation, a method of printing a three-dimensional (3D) object includes scanning a print bar in a first direction over a build platform of a 3D printer to deposit a liquid agent onto a layer of build powder. The print bar is then indexed in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction before scanning the print bar back over the build platform in a third direction opposite the first direction to deposit additional liquid agent onto the layer of build powder.
