This is another way to handle this issue:

1. Out-File outputs by default

Define the master array list

$MASTER_ARRAY_LIST =  [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()

Define the output filename

$OutputFilename="C:\TEMP\MyOutputFile.csv"

ForEach ( $Something in $List_of_Somethings) {
    $CURRENT_RECORD_DETAILS = New-Object PSObject -Property @{'name'=$($Something.Name);'fullname'=$($Something.FullName);'id'=$($Something.ID)}
    $MASTER_ARRAY_LIST.Add( $CURRENT_RECORD_DETAILS ) > $null
}

$MASTER_ARRAY_LIST.ToArray() | Select-Object -Property name,fullname,id | Export-Csv -Path $OutputFilename -NoTypeInformation
