摘要:
A blow molding process of producing molded articles including the steps of extruding a parison of the plasticized material from a die into a gap between mold halves while the mold is open and blowing gas into the parison, while the mold is closed, to have the parison form a molded hollow article within the mold. The parison is heated before molding by heating the inner shell contoured parts of the mold at the surfaces thereof and the plasticized material at the outer surface by using an instantaneous radiation heater disposed in the mold half gap to partially encompass the parison while the mold is open and the inner shell contoured part is heated by a heating medium passed through the heat medium passages. The molded article is cooled by cooling the mold at the inner shell contoured parts thereof by flowing a cooling medium through the heat medium passages of the mold while the mold is closed. The cooling of the mold occurs alternately with the heating of the mold by the heating medium.

A process and equipment for making seamless composite tubes. Composite material is applied on a mandrel which includes an inflatable bladder and inserted in a single piece mold. The bladder is pressurized for pressing the composite material against the mold wall for molding and curing thereof. In order to prevent seizing of the tube by the mold and thus allow easy removal of the cured tube, the mold is composed of a composite of resin impregnated carbon fiber material wherein the carbon fiber material has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion along the length thereof and is oriented at an angle of between about 15 and 40 degrees relative to a radial plane of the mold. In order to eliminate the use of inefficient and inconvenient cure ovens, a heat generating element is disposed internally of the mandrel for curing of the composite material.

A mold structure including layers with different physical properties is used to provide hot surface during molding. The use of a thin layer of low thermal conductivity covered by a smooth skin layer prevents quick cooling of the surface of the pre-heated plastic to be molded. The plastic surface remains molten and flows to fill the mold during press closing, resulting in smooth surfaces even when fiber reinforced plastics are used.

A tool for use in consolidation of a fibre-reinforced component has an outer casing supported by an internal structure. The outer casing has a first contact surface, which is provided for the purpose of resting flat against the component during the consolidation of the component and predetermining a shape of the component in some section or sections. The internal structure and the outer casing are configured in such a way that, when the tool is heated from an initial temperature to a consolidation temperature required for the consolidation of the component, the tool expands in such a way perpendicularly to the first contact surface that a defined first pressure is exerted on the component by the first contact surface. The use of a component of this kind is furthermore claimed and described.

A multi-part mold formed from a shell mold and a mold base provides efficiency in a manufacturing process. The shell mold may be formed on a positive mold article. The positive mold article may be formed from a rapid manufacturing process. The shell mold may then be formed on a surface of the positive mold article through a coating process that builds a relatively thin coating that results in a mold surface for molding an object represented, at least in part, by the positive mold article. The shell mold is then joined with a mold base effective to support the shell mold for the molding operation.

Polymer-based molds are described. The polymer-based mold includes a first portion comprising a first material having a glass transition temperature (Tg) lower than about 80° C.; and a second portion comprising a second material having a Tg higher than about 80° C., wherein the second portion at least partially covers the first portion, the second portion is thinner than the first portion and faces a cavity in the polymeric mold.

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a 3D item (10), wherein the 3D item (10) comprises an outer layer (210) and a support structure (220) with cavities (230), wherein the outer layer (210) at least partly encloses the support structure (220), and wherein the method comprises: (a) a 3D printing stage comprising 3D printing with fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printable material (201) the outer layer (210) and the support structure (220) and at least partly filling the cavities (230) with a filler material (204); and (b) a post-treatment stage comprising post treating at least part of the outer layer (210) for reducing surface roughness.
摘要:
Based on dimensions and configurations of a dermal wound on a patient, a carrier is custom-made, preferably by 3D printing, to include a cavity that is duplicative of the specific wound. When the custom-made carrier is used to contain slurry, and the slurry-containing carrier undergoes processing steps (such as freeze-drying in a lyophilization chamber), a matrix is formed that, when removed from the carrier and put into the wound of the patient for whom the carrier was custom-made, fills the wound volume.
