Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
building a first layer of a three-dimensional heterogeneous object in a first plurality of passes of an additive manufacturing system, wherein the first layer comprises a conductive region formed with a first fusing agent and a non-conductive region formed with a second fusing agent that is different from the first fusing agent;
using a first pressure, inserting leads of an electronic device directly into the conductive region of the first layer while the conductive region of the first layer is pliable; and
fusing the leads of the electronic device to the conductive region of the first layer using the first fusing agent in a second plurality of passes of the additive manufacturing system, wherein fusing the leads of the electronic device to the conductive region of the first layer occurs at the same time as fusing the conductive region of the first layer.
