Abstract: Powder mixture for the use as building material for manufacturing a three-dimensional object by solidifying the building material layer by layer at the positions corresponding to the cross-section of the three-dimensional object in the respective layer, in particular by exposure to radiation, wherein the powder mixture comprises a first powder and a second powder, wherein the first powder comprises powder particles of a first thermoplastic polymer material and a reinforcement material, wherein the reinforcement material is at least partially embedded in the powder particles of the first powder and/or adhered to the surface of the powder particles of the first powder, wherein the second powder comprises powder particles of a second thermoplastic polymer material which is the same as or different from the first thermoplastic polymer material, wherein the powder particles of the second powder do not comprise the reinforcement material or comprise it only in an amount of at most 50% by weight relative to the amou

Abstract: A method for producing a powder comprising at least one polymer for use in a method for the additive manufacture of a three-dimensional object is described. The method includes the step of mechanically treating the powder in a mixer with at least one rotating mixing blade, wherein the powder is exposed to a temperature TB and TB is at least 30° C. and is below the melting point Tm of the polymer (determined according to DIN EN ISO 11357) if the polymer is a semi-crystalline polymer, or wherein TB is at least 30° C. and wherein TB is at most 50° C. above the glass transition temperature Tg of the polymer (determined according to DIN EN ISO 11357) if the polymer is a melt-amorphous polymer.
