Zusammenfassung:A three-dimensional printing system can include a particulate build material including metal particles. The three-dimensional printing system can include a binding agent applicator fluidly coupled or coupleable to a binding agent. The three-dimensional printing system can include a suppression agent applicator fluidly coupled or coupleable to a melting point suppression agent, the melting point suppression agent including a dispersion of melting point suppression particles. The three-dimensional printing system can include a hardware controller to generate a command to direct the binding agent applicator to iteratively apply the binding agent to the particulate build material to form individually patterned object layers of a green body object, and direct the suppression agent applicator to iteratively apply the melting point suppression agent to a discrete location of the individually patterned object layers. The discrete location can include a discrete surface region of the green body object.
