The present invention relates to a
powder for the preparation of three-dimensional objects comprising, or consisting of, supraparticles (8,9,10) comprising at least a first
population of first primary particles, wherein the first primary particles are
thermoplastic polymeric particles, wherein the first primary particles have a volume-averaged median particle
diameter of from 10 to 2000 nm; wherein the primary particles are agglomerated and / or partially sintered together to form the supraparticles, and / or wherein the supraparticles have a volume-averaged median particle
diameter of from 2.5 to 100 pm. The invention also relates to a method for preparing in a
powder for the preparation of three-dimensional objects comprising a1) providing an at least first
population of first primary particles in a first dispersion medium, thereby forming a first dispersion (1); and / or a2) providing an at least second
population of second primary particles in a second dispersion medium, thereby forming a second dispersion (2); and / or a3) mixing the first dispersion and the second dispersion, thereby forming a mixture (3) of the first and second dispersion; and b) atomizing (5) the first, second or mixture of the first and second dispersion thereby forming droplets of the first, second or mixture of the first and second dispersion; and c) removing all dispersion media, preferably evaporating all dispersion media by
spray drying (7), thereby obtaining supraparticles (8,9,10).
