  • the provision of prototypes and the industrial production of components are becoming increasingly important. Particularly suitable are additive manufacturing processes that operate on the basis of powdery materials, and in which the desired structures are produced in layers by selective melting and solidification or by applying a binder and / or adhesive.

  • Additive manufacturing processes which use a powdery material include, for example, sintering, melting or bonding by binders.
  • the powder starting material is chosen in terms of its properties depending on the desired properties of the molded article to be produced. Significant are a corresponding grain size or particle size distribution, a suitable bulk density and sufficient flowability of the powder material.
  • grain size describes the size of individual particles or grains in a total mixture.
  • the grain or particle size distribution has a significant influence on the material properties of a bulk material, so the granular total mixture, which is in a pourable form, for example in a powdered composition.
  • the bulk density ie the density of a granular solid which has not been compressed by, for example, pounding or shaking but by pouring, can be influenced by its particle size or particle diameter and particle properties.
  • powders of relatively round grain shape are needed.
  • the choice of available materials is limited. For example, it is disadvantageous to use a material obtained by milling because the sharp edges of the particles are poor
  • polymer systems have small particle sizes or particle diameters.
  • the polymer systems can also be modified during their production, which however often leads to agglomeration of the particles. If such polymer systems are poured into a powder bed of a laser sintering system, for example, clots, that is to say inhomogeneous particle distributions, can form, which do not melt continuously, and a shaped body of inhomogeneous material is obtained, the mechanical stability of which can be reduced. Finally, clumping occurring during pouring can impair the flowability and thus limit the meterability. Therefore, such polymer systems often anti-agglomeration agents (syn.
