Original Abstract Submitted
A three-dimensional (3D) printing build material composition includes polyamide particles and a filler material consisting of aramid fibers having an aspect ratio ranging from about 0.1 mm/20 μm to about 1.2 mm/16 μm. The polyamide particles are present in an amount of at least 82 wt % based on a total weight of the build material composition, and the aramid fibers are present in an amount ranging from about 2 wt % to about 18 wt % based on the total weight of the build material composition.
