Patent number: 12103072Abstract: The invention provides a composite particle material for selective laser sintering (SLS), which is composed of an inorganic powder coated with a binder. The composite particulate material is formed by mixing the inorganic powder and the binder to have the binder directly coated on the outer surface of the inorganic powder. In addition, the inorganic powder to be coated by the binder is preferably using a powder having a smaller particle size and a larger particle size distribution, and thereby the production cost can be greatly reduced. Further, since the outer surface of the inorganic powder is coated with the binder, there are no problems such as causing oxidation of the inorganic powder and so on. Furthermore, manufacturing the composite particle material can be easily carried out in a general ambient or an atmospheric environment, and the powder material after use is recyclable.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2023Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: National Taiwan University of Science and TechnologyInventors: Yu-Deh Chao, Shu-Cheng Liu, Jeng-Ywan Jeng, Fu-Lin Chen

Publication number: 20240293968Abstract: The present invention provides a polymer composite particle material for three-dimensional printing. The polymer composite particle material is formed by embedding a carbon powder on a surface of a polymer powder. When the carbon powder is mixed with the polymer powder, a device with a shear force is used for stirring. Heating is performed during the stirring, such that melting occurs at the surface of the polymer powder. The carbon powder is embedded on the surface of the polymer powder to form a shell-core structure powder, and at the same time, the carbon powder is uniformly coated. The preparation method is simple and no additional dispersant and binder are needed. Besides the carbon powder will not easily separate from the polymer powder. At the same time, the agglomerated carbon powder can be dispersed by rubbing and evenly dispersed around the polymer powder to reduce a laser reflectivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2023Publication date: September 5, 2024Inventors: Yu-Deh Chao, Jeng-Ywan Jeng, Dong-Quan Yeh, Pin-Cheng Wang
