In a first aspect, the disclosure provides; a composite laminate. The laminate is made of: a first exterior layer comprising a biocompatible material; a second exterior layer comprising a biocompatible material; and a first inner layer comprising biocompatible threads running parallel to each other and oriented at zero degrees. The layers are laminated together. The disclosure further provides; a method for creating a biocompatible composite laminate. The method includes laying biocompatible threads parallel to one another to create a first middle thread layer on a first biocompatible material exterior layer, and placing a second biocompatible exterior material layer over the parallel biocompatible threads. The laminate is heated and compressed to bond the layers together.

Disclosed is a composition, in particular to a building material for an additive manufacturing process, wherein the composition is treated by heat. Further, the present invention is directed to a process for the manufacturing of the inventive composition and to a device comprising the inventive composition and the use of the inventive composition.

A golf ball according to the present invention comprises: a core having a diameter of 37-39 mm and a first density; a mantle which surrounds the core, includes amorphous alloy powder, and has a thickness of 0.8-1.2 mm and a second density; and a cover which surrounds the mantle and has a thickness of 1-1.4 mm and a third density.

A method for manufacturing an oral care implement comprising a handle, a connector, and a head repeatedly attachable to and detachable from the handle via the connector. The method includes the steps of injection molding of at least a part of the handle having a distal end and a proximal end opposite thereto and comprising a hollow portion; injection molding of at least a part of the connector having an outer lateral surface and a recess therein, the recess forming a cavity within the connector; injection molding of at least a part of the head; inserting the connector into the hollow portion of the handle and fixing the connector therein by gluing, welding, and/or press-fitting.

A process for the production of particles comprising polyarylene (ether) sulfone, comprising the agglomeration of fine-particle material comprising polyarylene (ether) sulfone, particles comprising polyarylene (ether) sulfone and a process for the recycling of a foam, of a foil or membrane, or of a molding, or of edge trim from the production of a coating, of a foam, of a foil or membrane, or of a molding comprising the production of comminuted material therefrom and the agglomeration to give recyclate particles.

A method of printing a 3D part with an additive manufacturing system includes printing a first portion of the part and pre-heating the first portion of the part along an upcoming tool path to a temperature at or above a material-specific bonding temperature and below a degradation temperature of the material. Material is extruding material onto the first portion along the pre-heated tool path while the temperature along the part surface remains at or above a material-specific bonding temperature and below the degradation temperature of the material thereby forming a newly extruded road. The method includes cooling the newly extruded road along the pre-heated tool path to remove heat imparted by the preheating step such that a thermally stable temperature is reached, wherein the preheating, extruding and cooling is performed in less than ten seconds.

A method of printing a hollow part with a robotic additive manufacturing system includes extruding thermoplastic material onto a build platform movable in at least two degrees of freedom in a helical pattern along a continuous 3D tool path with an extruder mounted on a robotic arm, to thereby print a hollow member having a length and a diameter. The method includes orienting the hollow member during printing by moving the build platform based on a geometry of the hollow member wherein the movement of the build platform and the movement of the robotic arm are synchronized to print the part without support structures.

A laminate shaping support material is provided which includes one of: a resin composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin having a primary hydroxyl group at its side chain, and having a heat of fusion of 10 to 30 J/g at its melting point (Embodiment (X)); and a resin composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin, and a block copolymer including a polymer block of an aromatic vinyl compound, at least one of a polymer block of a conjugated diene compound and a block of a hydrogenated conjugated diene compound, and a functional group reactive with a hydroxyl group (Embodiment (Y)). Therefore, the laminate shaping support material according to Embodiment (X), for example, is excellent in shape stability and adhesiveness to a model material. The laminate shaping support material according to Embodiment (Y) is excellent in peelability and forming stability.

The invention relates a resin composition containing a polymer matting agent, that improves the aesthetic appearance of an article formed by Material Extrusion 3D printing. The composition contains 30-99.9 wt % thermoplastic resin and 0.1-50 wt % of one or more spherical or near-spherical polymeric matting agents (PMAs) such as Altuglas Acryperl? beads from Arkema. Objects 3D printed from the composition have hidden layer lines (a.k.a. build lines) and is more uniform in appearance, compared to an object printed from the same thermoplastic resin without PMAs.

Plate having a bottom wall having an outer perimeter, an upper surface, and a lower support surface defining a horizontal reference plane. The plate further includes a sidewall extending upwardly and outwardly from the outer perimeter at an angle a of between about 30 to about 35 relative to a vertical axis perpendicular to the horizontal reference plane. Extending laterally outwardly from an upper edge of the sidewall is a rim. Extending downwardly from an outer edge of the rim and terminating at a free end is a turndown flange. The plate comprises a monolithic structure of polyethylene terephthalate foam. Method of forming the plate is also provided.
