Abstract: To provide resin composition, a pellet and a powder for use in new powder additive manufacturing, as well as a shaped article using the same, and a method for manufacturing such shaped article. The resin composition comprises a polybutylene terephthalate that contains a terephthalic acid-derived structural unit and a 1,4-butanediol-derived structural unit, for use in powder additive manufacturing, the resin composition having a value (?), defined by mathematical formula [1] below, of 40 or smaller: ?=|(MVR1?MVR0)/MVR0|×100??[1] where, MVR0 is melt volume flow rate (in cm3/10 min), and MVR1 is melt volume flow rate (in cm3/10 min).

Abstract: Provided is a resin composition for LSD, having a good flame retardancy, as well as keeping high levels of mechanical strength and platability. The resin composition for laser direct structuring, the resin composition containing: relative to 100 parts by weight of a resin component which contains 65 to 100% by weight of a polycarbonate resin and 35 to 0% by weight of a styrene-based resin, 5 to 40 parts by weight of a glass fiber having a value of average fiber length/average fiber diameter of 10 or smaller; 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of an elastomer; 5 to 10 parts by weight of a laser direct structuring additive containing antimony and tin; 10 to 30 parts by weight of a phosphorus-containing flame retardant; and, 0.1 to 1 part by weight of polytetrafluoroethylene.
