Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a plurality of structures formed of fused sections of build material particles and a plurality of porous sections supported by the plurality of structures. The plurality of porous sections may be formed of partially-fused build material particles, in which the partially-fused build material particles may include build material particles that may be partially fused together to cause the plurality of porous sections to have at least a predefined porosity level.
