Claim 0:
1. A three-dimensional article of manufacture comprising a plurality of substrate layers that are infiltrated or coated by, and bound together by, a hardened material formed by heating at least one engineered powder, such that the hardened material has a material composition that is different from the material composition of any of the plurality of substrate layers, wherein the engineered powder comprises plurality of toner powder particles comprised of at least one thermoplastic or thermosettable polymer produced by at least one process permitting sufficient control of the shape, size, and composition of each powder particle to produce a powder having particles of predesigned, relatively uniform shape, size, and composition, the process further not requiring mechanical abrasion, the process further comprising chemical reaction, wherein all of the plurality of substrate layers have a substantially identical material composition and each substrate layer is a sheet that has a material composition comprising fibers held together by binder.
