Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to an additive manufacturing (AM) method for making a three-dimensional (3D) object, comprising a) the provision of providing a powdered polymer material (M) comprising at least one polymer (P1) having a melting temperature (Tm) greater than 270° C., as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to ASTM D3418, and at least one polymer (P2) having a glass transition temperature (Tg) between 130° C. and 240° C., and no melting peak, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) according to ASTM D3418, b) the deposition of successive layers of the powdered polymer material; and c) the selective sintering of each layer prior to the deposition of the subsequent layer, wherein the powdered polymer material (M) is heated before step c) to a temperature Tp (° C.): Tp
