Abstract: A method of manufacturing a 3-dimensional model object by a powder bed fusion method using a resin granular material, in which the resin granular material comprises a resin powder (A) and a flow aid (B), a sphericity of the resin powder (A) is 80 or more and 100 or less, the resin powder (A) has a D80 particle size of 60 ?m or less and a D20 particle size of 1 ?m or more, the flow aid (B) is contained at an amount of more than 0.01 part by mass and less than 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin powder (A), and steps (a) to (c) are performed in this order repeatedly.

Abstract: A polymer powder includes a polyamide, wherein a melting point determined in differential scanning calorimetry is 190° C. or higher, a difference between the melting point and a melting onset temperature, which is defined in differential scanning calorimetry as a lowest temperature among temperatures at each of which a first temperature differential value of Heat Flow (W/g) observed between a peak top temperature of an endothermic peak, observed when 10 mg of powder is heated at a rate of 20° C./min from 30° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere, and a temperature point of ?50° C. from the peak top, becomes ?0.2 (W/g.° C.), is less than 30° C., and a D50 particle size is 1 ?m or more and 100 ?m or less.

Abstract: A vehicle front structure including: a closed-section cross member connected to a pair of front pillars; a closed-section hood ledge extending frontward from a portion of a corresponding one of the front pillars, where the cross member is connected to the corresponding one of the front pillars; and a strut housing provided on an inner side in a vehicle transverse direction of and adjacent to the hood ledge. The hood ledge is provided with two gussets dividing an internal space thereof into sections in the longitudinal direction of the hood ledge, and an intermediate portion of the hood ledge between the two gussets is located forward of the cross member and rearward of the strut housing.

Abstract: An ornamental article comprising a natural ornamental material such as pearl and a cured coating membrane of a composition based on organic materials which is coated on the surface of said natural ornamental material in a thickness from 0.01 .mu.m to 30 .mu.m, with improved properties such as surface luster and resistivity to scratch, light, chemicals, etc.

Abstract: Polyester compositions suitable for fiber and film formation contain from 0.2 to 3.0% by weight of fine particles of uniform size and possess sufficient slippery tendency, appropriate opacity and crystallizing potential; said particles containing lithium and phosphorus as a lithium salt of a phosphoric acid ester constituent of short chain polyesters.

Abstract: A polyester filament in which a polyether-polyester block copolymer is dispersed as fine striae along the filament axis, at least one of which is substantially endless. Process for preparing the same includes a melt spinning apparatus with static mixing elements interposed between separate molten polymer feed passageways and spinneret holes.
