SLEEVES UNITARILY FORMED BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR MOUNTING ON ROTATING SHAFTS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING MACHINERY, MACHINES FOR MAKING SUCH SLEEVES, AND METHODS FOR MAKING SUCH SLEEVES
A sleeve for mounting on a mandrel of a commercial printing machine can include distinct annular regions that are integrally formed simultaneously as a unitary structure without a forming mandrel and without any need to be adhered to one another in manufacturing steps separate from the manufacture of each annular region of the completed sleeve. A 3D printing machine and method suitable for one or more of the flexible packaging industry, the offset printing industry, the publication printing industry, the dcor printing industry, and the corrugated printing industry, employs a build plate that descends from a horizontal printing plane where each of multiple printing heads extrudes a road cycle of thermoplastic material onto the immediately underlying road cycle of the sleeve.

Die unit and system for constructing die units
A die unit fastened to an upper part of a stamping tool has a pressure plate, a stamping die, and a die-holding plate. In order to reduce the production cost, the pressure plate is arranged between the stamping die and the die-holding plate, wherein the pressure plate acts on a shoulder of the stamping die during a stamping stroke.

FILMS AND ARTICLES MADE WITH THERMOPLASTIC BLOCK COPOLYMERS
The present invention relates to printing blankets, pipe liners, conveyor belts, inflatable articles, collapsible containers, protective clothing, and other types of coated fabrics that are manufactured with a thermoplastic block copolymer (TBC). This TBC can be a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a copolyester (COPE), a copolyamide (COPA) or a polyurethaneurea (TPUU). The subject invention more specifically discloses a printing blanket or printing sleeve and a cured in place liner for a passageway or pipe. The TBC is (I) the reaction product of (1) a hydrophobic polyol or polyamine, (2) a polyisocyanate or an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and (3) a linear chain extender containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms, or (II) the reaction product of (1) a hydrophobic polyol or polyamine, and (2) a carboxyl terminated telechelic polyamide sequence.
LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH SUPPORT LAYER OF SPLICED STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A laminated sleeve includes: a basic sleeve, an elastic layer, an inner reinforcement layer, a support layer, an outer reinforcement layer and a surface layer which are sequentially arranged in that order from inside to outside. A manufacturing method includes: cutting a plate material into support strips of the same size, arranging the support strips around a central axis of the sleeve to cover the inner reinforcement layer annularly to obtain the support layer, wrapping the outer reinforcement layer around the support layer, and obtaining the laminated sleeve after surface processing. The manufacturing method greatly expands the wide range of material choices for the support layer and allows for flexible adjustment of the outer diameter size of the product. The support layer of the laminated sleeve made by the disclosure can be made of general rigid solid materials with low density, high strength, and minimal deformation.

MACHINES FOR MAKING SLEEVES UNITARILY FORMED BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR MOUNTING ON ROTATING SHAFTS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING MACHINERY
A 3D printing machine includes a build plate that descends from a horizontal printing plane where each of multiple print assemblies extrudes a road cycle of thermoplastic material onto an immediately underlying road cycle of thermoplastic material that is forming a sleeve for mounting on a mandrel of a commercial printing machine. A thermoplastic polymeric print material is continuously deposited during rotation of the build plate about a build axis by a rotational actuator assembly. An axial actuator assembly translates the build plate along the build axis from a first axial position from the one or more print assemblies to a second axial position, which is disposed at a distance that is further from the one or more print assemblies than the first position. A temperature control system directs an airflow between the one or more print assemblies and the build plate.
