In some embodiments, the phosphor component of a build material or support material is present in the material in an amount of 0.001-0.5 wt. % and has a peak photoluminescence (PL) emission wavelength of 430-750 nm and a photoluminescence quantum yield (QY) of 0.10-1.

A three-dimensional printing kit can include a powder bed material and a fusing agent to selectively apply to the powder bed material. The powder bed material can include polymer particles and a thermochromic additive. The thermochromic additive can be chemically stable at a melting point temperature of the polymer particles, and the thermochromic additive can exhibit a color change at a color transition temperature that is below the melting point of the polymer particles. The fusing agent can include water and a radiation absorber to absorb radiation energy and convert the radiation energy to heat.

An article comprising a heater that comprises a high-resistance magnification (HRM) PTC ink deposited on a flexible substrate to form one or more resistors. The HRM PTC ink has a resistance magnification of at least 20 in a temperature range of at least 20 degrees Celsius above a switching temperature of the ink, the resistance magnification being defined as a ratio between a resistance of the double-resin ink at a temperature ‘T’ and a resistance of the double-resin ink at 25 degrees Celsius.
