The disclosed exemplary apparatuses, systems and methods provide a three-dimensional molding, produced via a layer-by-layer process in which regions of respective layers of pulverant are selectively melted via introduction of electromagnetic energy. The embodiments comprise layers of the pulverant comprising at least thermoplastic polyurethane polymer (TPU) that provide a hardness of 40-100 Shore A; a tensile strength of 5 to 50 MPa; an elongation at break of 50 to 700%; a compression set of 5 to 60%; and a density of 0.9 to 1.8 g/cc.
A three-dimensional molding, produced via a layer-by-layer process in which regions of respective layers of pulverant are selectively melted via introduction of electromagnetic energy, comprising:
A pulverant suitable to provide a three-dimensional molding by use of the pulverant in a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process in which regions of respective layers of pulverant are selectively melted via introduction of electromagnetic energy, comprising:
