  • COMPOSITIONS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OBJECTS USING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20170145155
    Abstract: Objects can be produced using an additive manufacturing process. The objects can include a plurality of layers of a polymeric material that includes a copolyester ether. The copolyester ether can include units of a diacid component and units of a glycol component. In some implementations, the units of the diacid component can be derived from at least one aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Further, in some illustrative examples, the units of the glycol component can be derived from an aliphatic glycol and a polyalkylene ether glycol. In some cases, the polymeric material can also include a thermoplastic elastomer and a resin component.

  • Production of non-solid-stated polyester particles having solid-stated properties
    Patent number: 7868125
    Abstract: A process for producing non-solid-stated polyester polymer particles having one or more properties similar to polyester polymer particles that have undergone solid-state processing. In one embodiment, the process comprises (a) forming polyester polymer particles from a polyester polymer melt; (b) quenching at least a portion of the particles, (c) drying at least a portion of the particles, (d) crystallizing at least a portion of the particles, (e) annealing at least a portion of the particles. At all points during and between steps (b) through (e), the average bulk temperature of the particles is maintained above 165° C.
