Abstract
Examples of methods are described. In some examples, a method may include printing a first solid material phase region. In some examples, the method may include printing a second solid material phase region distanced from the first solid material phase region. In some examples, the method may include printing a plurality of distanced beams, each having a thickness that is not more than one millimeter, to form a weak material phase region between the first solid material phase region and the second solid material phase region. In some examples, the weak material phase region has a volumetric density less than one.
