The invention relates to a molding device for producing a product by means of injection molding. The molding device comprises a central mold part, which can be rotated about a rotational axis and which comprises at least one inner mold half arranged on the central mold part, and at least one outer mold half, which interacts with the inner mold half in order to form cavities in a closed configuration of the molding device and which is arranged in a movable manner relative to the inner mold half in a first direction (x). Furthermore, at least one first connector element arranged on the central mold part and at least one second connector element arranged on the outer mold half are provided, said second connector element being operatively connected to the first connector element at least in a closed configuration of the molding device.

A mold insert having a main body including a first surface and an opposed second surface, the first surface defining a plane. The mold insert also has a mold core extending from the first surface and a gas inlet port connectable to a supply of pressurized gas. Further, the mold insert has two or more gas outlet ports arranged to direct a gas flow towards an uncovered surface of an injection molded item located on the mold core, after the mold core and the mold cavity are separated from each other. Further, the mold insert has a gas conduit system extending inside the main body connecting the two or more gas outlet ports with the gas inlet port. Each of the two or more gas outlet ports are arranged through the first surface. The gas conduit system is provided in the main body below the first surface.

A method and mould for producing millimetre and/or micrometre and/or nanometre-size structures on a substrate surface of a substrate.

A multi-arm forming device for space on-orbit composite braiding is provided. Through the rotary movement of a combination of circularly arranged mechanical arm-type laying apparatuses relative to a mold, a plurality of hot press laying heads are controlled together to implement high-efficiency and high-freedom winding and braiding formation of a composite member. The retraction and expansion deformation of the gasbag mold is achieved by inflating and deflating based on design, and the overall device is lightened by switching its structural volume in an operating/non-operating state, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the lift-off of rockets and the demolding, repair and weight reduction of winding and braiding structural members for operation in space. Additionally, gas in a gasbag can be used as emergency kinetic energy for the movement and attitude adjustment of the overall device in space. High-quality and efficient winding and braiding formation of composites in space are achieved ultimately.
