Abstract: The invention is in the field of additive manufacturing. According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an additive manufacturing process for producing a printed article, comprising the step of sintering a powder composition comprising a thermoplastic elastomer, wherein the powder composition has a melting onset temperature Tm,onset and a melting peak temperature Tm,peak, which are measured according to ISO 11357-1/3 (2009), wherein Tm,peak minus Tm,onset is 30° C. or less; and wherein a test article printed from the powder composition has a rebound resilience of 50% or more, measured according to DIN 53512. According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a powder composition suitable for additive manufacturing sintering processes comprising the steps of: (a) providing a starting material comprising a thermoplastic elastomer; (b) heating the starting material of step (a) or the size-reduced material of step (c) to a temperature sufficient to increase the melting onset temperature of the material, thereby obtaining an annealed material; and (c) reducing the size of the starting material of step (a) or the annealed material of step (b) into a powder having a D50 particle size value of 20-150 m, thereby obtaining a size-reduced material, wherein size reduction step (c) is performed before or after heating step (b).

Abstract: A method of forming a three-dimensional object comprises the steps of forming a layer of a particulate composition, selectively depositing a liquid composition onto the layer of the particulate composition in accordance with computer data corresponding to the shape of at least a portion of a three-dimensional object, and repeating the steps a plurality of times to form a three-dimensional object. The particulate composition comprises a plurality of first particles that comprise a resin component comprising a first resin, the first resin comprising a first resin polymerizable group. Either or both of the particulate composition and the liquid composition comprise an initiator capable of initiating polymerization of at least the first resin. At least the first resin undergoes melting and polymerization in a plurality of the locations where the liquid composition has been selectively deposited.
