THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER WITH PNEUMATIC CONVEYANCE

A three-dimensional (3D) printer and method having a pneumatic conveyance system (PCS) to transport build material to a vessel of the 3D printer. A feeder coupled to the vessel regulates the discharge flow of build material from the vessel. A sealing control coupled to the feeder reduces air inflow.
