Abstract

According to examples, a system may include a first carriage carrying a laying device that may form a build material layer over a build area and a first energy source that may apply energy onto the build material layer as the first carriage is moved over the build material layer. The system may also include a second carriage carrying an agent delivery device and a second energy source, in which the agent delivery device may selectively deliver an agent onto the layer of build material and the second energy source may apply energy onto the agent and the layer of build material as the second carriage is moved across the build material layer. The system may further include a controller to control movement of the first carriage and the second carriage across the build area, in which the first carriage may be independently movable with respect to the second carriage.
