Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for producing three-dimensional objects are disclosed. In an embodiment, an apparatus for solid freeform fabrication comprises a movable nozzle comprising a nozzle opening, a heating element connected to the movable nozzle, a driver connected to the movable nozzle, a platform for receiving a build material from the movable nozzle, and a hopper for providing the build material to the driver, the hopper comprising a hopper opening, wherein the nozzle opening and the hopper opening are capable of simultaneous alignment on a straight axis such that the build material, when present, is capable of traveling along the straight axis at least from the hopper opening until the build material attains a flowable state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heat-processable thermally conductive polymer composition comprising (a) 30 to 95% by weight of a thermoplastic polymer (b) 5 to 40% by weight of a graphite powder; and (c) 0 to 65% by weight of optional further component(s), wherein the particles of the graphite powder are in the form of platelets having a thickness of less than 500 nm, and a process for the preparation heat-processable thermally conductive polymer composition.
