Development of a novel toner for electrophotography based additive manufacturing process.

This thesis is intended to conduct feasibility study of producing 3D objects by printing thermoplastic elastomer using electrophotography technique and thereafter sintering the whole layer using infrared light source .The term Selective laser printing (SLP) has been coined by the author for this new process. This thesis provides the feasibility of developing experimental toner using thermoplastic toner using both mono and dual component print engines.
