Parts made by additive manufacturing are often structural in nature, rather than having functional properties conveyed by a component present therein. Composite filaments suitable for additive manufacturing may comprise a continuous polymer phase of a first thermoplastic polymer and a second thermoplastic polymer that are immiscible with one another, and electrically conductive particles distributed in the continuous polymer phase, such as microparticles, nanoparticles, or any combination thereof. The first thermoplastic polymer is dissolvable or degradable and the second thermoplastic polymer is insoluble or non-degradable under specified conditions. Removal of the first thermoplastic polymer from a printed part may introduce porosity thereto, thereby inducing or enhancing piezoresistivity within the printed part. An aqueous mixture comprising the electrically conductive particles and the first and second thermoplastic polymers may have water removed therefrom, and the resulting composite residue may be extruded to form the composite filaments.

This disclosure describes three-dimensional printing kits, methods, and systems for three-dimensional printing with phosphorescent pigments. In one example, a three-dimensional printing kit can include a powder bed material and a low-tint fusing agent. The powder bed material can include polymer particles and phosphorescent pigment particles mixed with the polymer particles. The low-tint fusing agent can include water and an electromagnetic radiation absorber. The electromagnetic radiation absorber can absorb radiation energy and convert the absorbed radiation energy to heat.

A wearable garment includes a compression fabric with at least one electrode coupled to the compression fabric or sewn into seams of the wearable garment. The electrode includes a first layer comprising a metal integral conductive silicone rubber material configured to lay proximate to a wearer of the garment. The electrode may also include a second layer including a conducting metal sheet and a conductive lead coupled to the second layer. A non-conducting layer is configured to lay proximate to the compression fabric.

In an example method for forming three-dimensional (3D) printed electronic parts, a build material is applied. An electronic agent is selectively applied in a plurality of passes on a portion of the build material. A fusing agent is also selectively applied on the portion of the build material. The build material is exposed to radiation in a plurality of heating events. During at least one of the plurality of heating events, the portion of the build material in contact with the fusing agent fuses to form a region of a layer. The region of the layer exhibits an electronic property. An order of the plurality of passes, the selective application of the fusing agent, and the plurality of heating events is controlled to control a mechanical property of the layer and the electronic property of the region.

Multicolored flexible wearables include a first portion having a first flexible polymer forming a toroid and including one or more colorants, a first surface, a second surface, and a recess in the first surface not reaching the second surface. A second portion formed of a second flexible polymer fills a majority of the recess and includes one or more colorants. The first and second flexible polymers have different colors and are permanently bonded together. Precious material particles may be disposed within the first and/or second flexible polymers. One or more of the colorants may have a color matching a color of the precious material particles. One method of bonding the portions includes depositing a liquid second portion into the recess and then curing it. Another method includes depositing a solid second portion into the recess and then curing a liquid layer of polymer between the first portion and second portion.

A composition, method, and system for directly printing and creating complete functional 3D electronic circuits and devices without any thermal or laser post-processing treatment, by using at least Triphenylamine (TPA) as a powder binding agent. The composition can have mechanical characteristics that allow it to be melted and extruded on a structure, and electrical properties that allow it to function as at least one of a conductor, insulator, resistor, p-type semiconductor, n-type semiconductor, or capacitor.

Three-dimensional printing methods and systems for forming a three-dimensional protein article are disclosed. The methods and systems involve selecting article formation parameters, such as protein ink parameters, solvent bath parameters, shear force parameters, and mapping parameters. After these parameters are selected, the methods and systems iteratively introduce protein ink into a solvent bath via a three-dimensional printing outlet. The result is a three-dimensional protein article. One exemplary protein is silk fibroin. Further processing can be done, such as drying the article.

The present disclosure describes a method for making fused meteorite, a method for bonding the fused meteorite to an article jewelry, and articles of jewelry comprising fused meteorite.
