A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240034880A1) discloses a method for 3D-printing objects using a thermoplastic composition containing an amorphous polyamide polymer. The method involves providing a 3D printer, melting the thermoplastic composition in the printer, and printing the melted material to form the desired object. The composition includes specific components such as dimerized fatty acids, mono carboxylic acids, linear dicarboxylic acids, and linear diamines to achieve the desired properties for 3D printing.
Furthermore, the patent also describes variations in the composition, including the addition of crystalline or semicrystalline thermoplastic polymers, compatibilizing agents, fillers, and additives for enhancing specific functionalities like thermal management, coloration, flame retardancy, and aesthetic aspects. The method involves feeding the composition into a 3D printer, heating it to a molten state, and extruding it through a nozzle onto a substrate to create the desired object. The process can involve depositing multiple layers of molten material to build a three-dimensional structure, showcasing the versatility and customization potential of this 3D printing method.
