Abstract:
Powder compositions and articles and methods of forming articles from powder compositions are provided. The powder compositions include at least one powder that preferably includes an amount of one or more branched polymers such as, for example, one or more branched polyamide polymers. The powder composition is preferably capable of being formed, via a layer-by- layer sintering process such as, for example, selective laser sintering, into a three-dimensional article.

Abstract:
The present application provides a container, such as a metal or plastic can, that has a rim with an integral heat seal zone (26) and a heat sealable powder or hot melt coating (42) applied to the heat seal zone (26) of the upper rim. In another embodiment, the container includes: a sidewall having an upper rim, wherein the upper rim includes an upwardly inclined and integrally formed heat seal zone (26); a heat sealable coating (42) applied to the heat seal zone (26) of the upper rim; and a peelable foil lid (30) removably attached to the heat seal zone (26) of the upper rim.
Abstract:
A method of laser sintering a thermoplastic composition to provide an articl e of manufacture having a plurality of sintered layers is disclosed. The thermoplastic composition has a relatively high melting point and a small particle size. The articles of manufacture have a high resolution and excellent durability and strength.
