Enclosure parts for portable information handling systems may be made by heat pressing material layers together. The material layers may include outer fiber-reinforced thermoplastic layers and a core thermoplastic layer comprising a plurality of thermoplastic film layers. The core thermoplastic layer may be die cut to create voids that reduce weight of the enclosure part. A finishing layer may be added, along with attachment features.

A molding material comprising a fibrous reinforcement layer and a curable resin matrix. The fibrous reinforcement layer comprises a non-woven fabric comprising a single layer of unidirectional tows arranged at an angle greater than 0° in relation to the lengthwise direction of the fabric and a support structure for maintaining the arrangement of the tows.

The present disclosure relates to method of making three-dimensional (3D) objects using an additive manufacturing system wherein the part material comprises a polymeric component comprising a poly(biphenyl ether sulfone) polymer (PPSU) having an optimized weight average molecular weight (Mw). In particular, the present disclosure relates to part material incorporating a PPSU of Mw ranging from 48,000 to 52,000 g/mol, for example in the form of filaments or spherical particles, for use in additive manufacturing systems to print 3D objects.
