Disclosed is a resin composite having improved tensile properties and a method of preparing the same. Particularly, the resin composite comprises a matrix resin and a reinforcement resin which are made of thermoplastic resin compositions.

A process is provided for making a blow-molded PET container comprising a wall having a density of between about 1.370 g/cc and 1.385 g/cc, a heat-induced crystallinity of from about 18% to about 25%, and a strain-induced crystallinity of from about 55% to about 75%, wherein the PET container, when filled with a liquid having a temperature of from about 100 C. to about 132 C. or when subjected to a pasteurization or retort process, will not experience a change in volume of greater than 3%.

A semifinished product for making a composite fiber molded part is made by first spinning from a row of orifices of a spinning nozzle low-melting fibers of a thermoplastic. These low-melting fibers are then combined into a laminated semifinished product with high-melting reinforcement fibers of the same thermoplastic but having a melting temperature higher than the melting temperature of the low-melting fibers.

A 3D model system is configured to receive configuration data and identification data corresponding to rendering of 3D content displayed in a dynamic virtual environment such as a video game or a virtual reality environment. The configuration data can be captured by a content capture plugin. The configuration data can indicate characteristics of the 3D content that are dynamically-generated at the time of capture. Based on the identification data, the 3D model system can retrieve asset data that indicates default, non-dynamic characteristics of the 3D content. Using the configuration data and the asset data, the 3D model system can generate a preliminary 3D model that is representative of the 3D content at the time of capture. The preliminary 3D model can be validated and optimized for 3D printing.

A 3D model system is configured to validate and optimize for 3D printing an unprocessed 3D model described by an input data file. The 3D model system is configured to detect printability issues associated with the unprocessed 3D model and automatically address these issues. Such issues can include boundary edges, non-manifold geometries, structural deficiencies, etc. Upon resolving these issues, the 3D model can be optimized for 3D printing. Optimizations can include hollowing to reduce printing cost and exterior surface smoothing. The resulting validated and optimized 3D model can be converted into an output data file which can be an input to a 3D printer or a 3D printing service for printing the object depicted by the 3D model. The 3D model system can operate as a network or cloud-based service. Users are able to interact with the 3D model system using a series of web-based user interfaces.
