Original Abstract Submitted

in an example 3d printing method, an electrical conductivity value for a resistor is identified. based upon the identified electrical conductivity value, a predetermined amount of a conductive agent is selectively applied to at least a portion of a build material layer in order to introduce a predetermined volume percentage of a conductive material to the resistor. based upon the identified electrical conductivity value and the predetermined volume percent of the conductive material, a predetermined amount of a resistive agent is selectively applied to the at least a portion of the build material layer in order to introduce a predetermined volume percentage of a resistive material to the resistor. the build material layer is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, whereby the at least the portion coalesces to form a layer of the resistor.
