Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A 3D printer is disclosed herein. The 3D printer comprises a build material distributor to generate layers of a build material in a spreading direction along a spreading axis; a resonator mounted on the build material distributor to vibrate the build material distributor along the spreading axis at a frequency; and a controller. The controller is to control the resonator to vibrate the build material distributor at the frequency while controlling the build material distributor to spread a volume of build material over a platform to generate a layer of build material.
