Rotors formed by an additive manufacturing process are presented. In one example, a method of making a rotor is presented including defining a printing order for the application of a first material, and creating a plurality of lobes arranged helically about a central opening or a shaft by adding a first material in the printing order, wherein each of the plurality of lobes defines an outer surface.

The present invention concerns a pressed cutting tool comprising a variable core diameter, a mold and a method for producing the cutting tool by pressing. Said cutting tool preferably comprises a shaft and a part comprising one or more helical flutes, wherein low points or lines in said flutes define the shape of said core. In a preferred embodiment, said core is conical. In a preferred embodiment, said cutting tool is an end mill and/or a drill.

A bone screw includes a shaft including at least one thread having an external thread form and defining at least one cavity. The shaft includes at least one tissue gathering member disposed to direct tissue into the at least one cavity. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

Noise suppressors for firearms are disclosed, having a cylindrical body extending along a longitudinal direction, a chamber having an annular cylindrical shape, and a suppression core in the chamber. The chamber has an outer diameter defined by an inner surface of the body, an inner diameter forming a center bore, and a length along the longitudinal direction. The suppression core has a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure. A wall thickness or unit cell size of the TPMS structure may vary along longitudinal or radial directions. The suppression core may have an inner portion and an outer portion, where at a transition between the inner and outer portions, a plurality of first openings in the inner portion and a plurality of second openings in the outer portion have a parameter that matches in size with each other, and the first and second openings are approximately aligned with each other.

A base material for a hard sintered body includes a pillar portion having a central axis and extending in the axial direction of the central axis. The pillar portion has a first outer peripheral portion, a second outer peripheral portion, and a protruding stripe portion. In the cross-sectional view, one side portion of the first outer peripheral portion extending in a circumferential direction or a radial direction is located inside the other side portion. In the cross-sectional view, one side portion of the second outer peripheral portion extending in the circumferential direction or the radial direction is located outside the other side portion in the radial direction. The protruding stripe portion is located in a connection portion between the other side portion of the first outer peripheral portion and one side portion of the second outer peripheral portion, and protrudes outward.

Suppressors for firearms are disclosed. In some embodiments, a suppression core comprises an annular cylinder surrounding a center bore, and a baffle structure surrounding the annular cylinder. The annular cylinder and the baffle structure are concentric. The baffle structure comprises a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure. At a transition between the annular cylinder and the baffle structure, a plurality of first openings in the annular cylinder form continuous paths with a plurality of second openings in the baffle structure. In some embodiments, a suppression core comprises an annular cylindrical shape having a center bore, the suppression core comprising a TPMS structure. The TPMS has walls within the TPMS structure. A wall thickness of the walls of the TPMS structure or a unit cell size of the TPMS structure varies within the suppression core.

A build plate includes a surface that defines at least one opening configured for disposal of a proximal portion of a screw shaft. The proximal portion is formed by a first manufacturing method and defines a distal face. The proximal portion is connected with the surface in a configuration to orient the distal face for forming a distal portion of the screw shaft thereon by a second manufacturing method that includes an additive manufacturing apparatus. In some embodiments, systems, spinal constructs, surgical instruments and methods are disclosed.

A plasticizing device includes a rotor having a rotation shaft and a groove-formed surface that includes a groove formed in the rotation direction and that inclined from the rotation shaft in a radial direction with respect to a radial direction orthogonal to the center axis, a facing unit having a facing surface inclined so as to face the groove-formed surface in the radial direction, a heater heating a material to be supplied between the facing surface and the rotor, and a communication hole through which the material plasticized by heat of the heater flows, a drive motor generating rotational driving force, a connection unit fitting to the rotor in a direction along a rotation shaft of the drive motor, connecting the rotation shaft of the drive motor and the rotor to each other, and transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor to the rotor, and an elastic member disposed between the rotor and the connection unit.
