Zusammenfassung:A surface-modified powder for laser sintering that allows improved incoupling of the radiation energy of the laser. The surface-modified powder avoids problems arising in the laser sintering of materials having a low absorptance for the laser radiation. The surface-modified powder has particles having particle cores and having laser absorbers bonded to a surface of each particle core, the laser absorbers covering at least 25% of the surface of each particle core and having a higher absorptance for laser radiation for laser sintering than the particle core.
