Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional printing kit comprising: a powder bed material comprising polymer particles; a fusing agent comprising a radiation absorber and a liquid carrier; and a magnetic marking agent comprising magnetic nanoparticles, a humectant and a liquid carrier, wherein the concentration of magnetic nanoparticles is 5 to 70 weight % based on the total weight of the magnetic agent. The present disclosure also relates to a method of three-dimensional (3D) printing a 3D printed object. The method comprises: selectively applying a magnetic marking agent onto powder bed material, wherein the powder bed material comprises polymer particles, and wherein the magnetic marking agent comprises magnetic nanoparticles and a liquid carrier; selectively fusing the powder bed material, such that the magnetic nanoparticles are incorporated in the 3D printed object in a predetermined arrangement that forms a detectable marker in the 3D printed object.
