Abstract:
According to one aspect there is provided apparatus for generating a three-dimensional object. The apparatus comprises a first agent distributor to selectively deliver a coalescing agent onto portions of a layer of build material, a second agent distributor to selectively deliver a coalescence modifier agent onto portions of a layer of build material, and a controller to control the agent distributors to selectively deliver each of the agents onto a layer of build material in respective patterns derived from data representing a slice of a three-dimensional object to be generated, so that when energy is applied to the layer the build material coalesces and solidifies to form a slice of the three-dimensional object in accordance the patterns.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of controlling a system to generate a three-dimensional object, comprising:\n obtaining control data, the control data derived from data representing a portion of a three-dimensional object to be generated; depositing a layer of build material; selectively depositing on the layer of deposited build material, in accordance with the obtained control data, patterns of a coalescing agent and a coalescence modifier agent, the patterns to cause, upon application of energy to the layer of build material, an object to have properties dependent on the patterns by causing portions of the layer on which only coalescing agent is delivered or penetrates to heat up above the melting point of the build material and coalesce, and portions of the layer on which only coalescence modifier agent is delivered or penetrates not to heat up above the melting point of the build material and not to coalesce; and applying energy to deposited build material.
