In an example 3D printing method, an electrical conductivity value for a resistor is identified. Based upon the identified electrical conductivity value, a predetermined amount of a conductive agent is selectively applied to at least a portion of a build material layer in order to introduce a predetermined volume percentage of a conductive material to the resistor. Based upon the identified electrical conductivity value and the predetermined volume percent of the conductive material, a predetermined amount of a resistive agent is selectively applied to the at least a portion of the build material layer in order to introduce a predetermined volume percentage of a resistive material to the resistor. The build material layer is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, whereby the at least the portion coalesces to form a layer of the resistor.

A coil component is capable of suppressing permeation of liquid or gas into a magnetic portion and increasing mechanical strength of the magnetic portion. A coil component includes a magnetic portion including soft magnetic metal particles having an insulating oxide layer on a surface thereof, with the soft magnetic metal particles being bonded to each other with the insulating oxide layer interposed therebetween; and a coil portion provided inside or on the surface of the magnetic portion.

In an example of a method for three-dimensional (3D) printing, build material layers are patterned to form an intermediate structure. During patterning, a binding agent is selectively applied to define: a build material support structure and a patterned intermediate part. Also during patterning, i) the binding agent and a separate agent including a gas precursor or ii) a combined agent including a binder and the gas precursor are selectively applied to define a patterned breakable connection between at least a portion of the build material support structure and at least a portion patterned intermediate part. The intermediate structure is heated to a temperature that activates the gas precursor to create gas pockets in the patterned breakable connection.
