Process for shaping a polymeric object

Filed:2019-05-10Pub:2024-03-05
Applicant:SABIC GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES B.V.

The present invention relates to a process for moulding a polymeric object, the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a substantially flat horizontally positioned layer of a material, the layer being a film or sheet; (b) providing a layer of a thermoplastic powder onto the layer provided under (a); (c) subjecting a pre-defined part of the thermoplastic powder to irradiation to heat the pre-defined part of the thermoplastic powder to a temperature at which the thermoplastic fuses or sinters onto at least a part of the flat layer of material; (d) terminating the exposure to irradiation; (e) providing a further layer of the thermoplastic powder onto the layer provided under (b); (f) subjecting a pre-defined part of the thermoplastic powder of the layer provided under (e) to irradiation to heat the pre-defined part of the thermoplastic powder to a temperature at which the thermoplastic fuses or sinters onto at least a part of the flat layer of the material fused under (c); (g) terminating the exposure to irradiation; (h) repeating steps (e)-(g) for as many cycles as required to complete the shape of the desired polymeric object; (i) removing the fraction of thermoplastic powder that has not been fused or sintered; and (j) optionally removing the substantially flat layer as provided under (a) from the polymeric object; wherein the surface area of the substantially flat layer of material is at least 200% of the surface area of that layer produced under steps (c)-(h) having the largest surface area. Such process allows for the production of small series or uniquely designed objects at low energy consumption wherein the objects exhibit high dimensional stability.
