Laser sintering is used in 3D printing applications, wherein full-body metal products are required to undergo rapid and quality production process. The growing demand for 3D printing in manufacturing of various kinds is expected to drive considerable growth for this application in the near future. The Promise of Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) in Laser Sintering 3D printing also known as additive manufacturing is witnessing robust growth as it the process offers various advantages over fused deposition modelling (FDM). Some such applications include its ability to eliminate support with the help of powder bed surrounding a build. The process is also known to be improve productivity. However, several powders have been tried as the ideal material to support additive manufacturing. However, products like nylon, even with their various benefits have failed to promise a sustainable production. A New Direction for Current Players On the other hand, a company named Ricoh has launched a new material based on PBT which promises high-strength, high insulation, and heat resistance. The material promises to deliver

2. solvent resistance as well as much-needed mechanical strength. This achievement is noteworthy for many reasons. Provided that it succeeds, it promises a major new applications for players in the polybutylene terephthalate market. Additionally, it seems quite promising as a wide variety of research on the topic in scientific journals promises application for polybutylene terephthalate powders in next-gen laser sintering. Expansion of Applications If it succeeds, the PBT powder can be key to growth for the additive manufacturing process. The material promises lighter end-components, lower costs of prototyping (a key application for 3D printing), and more efficiency in the process. The end-applications will also expand to include parts like automotive motors, electrical components, and bathroom furnishings. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is an engineering polymer which is thermoplastic in nature and is used in electronics and electrical industriesas an insulator. It is a type of polyester and a thermoplastic (semi-crystalline polymer). PBT is solvent resistant, is mechanically strong, slightly shrinks during forming and is heat-resistant up to a temperature of 150 °C (or 200 °C with glass- fiber strengthening). It can be made noncombustible when treated with flame retardants.Polybutylene terephthalate is related closely to different thermoplastic polyesters. Polybutylene terephthalate has slightly lower rigidity and strength as compared to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), better contact resistance, and a lower glass shift temperature. Polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalateare sensitive to warm water above the temperature of 60 °C (140 °F). Polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalateif used outdoors needs UV protection and most variations of these polyesters are combustible. To improve flammability and UV properties, additives can be used.
