A solidification substrate assembly for making a three-dimensional object from a solidifiable material includes a solidification substrate assembly. In certain examples, the solidifiable material solidifies in contact with the solidification substrate, and the tilting of the substrate and/or or the use of a peeling member facilitates separation of the substrate from the solidified material. In other examples, the solidification substrate assembly includes a film that is adjacent to a rigid or semi-rigid layer. The solidifiable material solidifies in contact with the film, and a peeling member peels the film away from the solidified material. Intelligent solidification substrate assemblies are also described in which a force sensor determines when to expose the solidifiable material to solidification energy and/or whether to use a peeling member to separate the solidification substrate from a solidified objection section.

In order to prevent shaft portion from being broken in ejection of base portion from mold, method for manufacturing interdental cleaning tool includes: base portion forming step of forming base portion by filling first space of primary mold (50) with synthetic resin, which includes first and second mold members (50A, 50B); and cleaning portion forming step of forming cleaning portion around shaft portion by filling second space of secondary mold with elastomer. Base portion forming step uses first and second mold members (50A, 50B). First and second molds include: first and second contact surfaces (51A, 51B); pair of first and second spaced-apart portions (54A, 54B); and first and second connection portions (52A, 52B), angle (θ) between each of first and second spaced-apart portions (54A, 54B) and separation plane being acute.

This extracting device 30 is for extracting a small and lightweight molded article 10 from a molding machine 20, and is provided with a first extracting member 40a, a second extracting member 40b, a first drive mechanism 50, and a second drive mechanism 60, wherein the first extracting member 40a and the second extracting member 40b are provided with accommodating portions 41a, 41b for accommodating the molded article 10, and shutter plates 42a, 42b for opening and closing the accommodating portions 41a and 41b.

A method of preparing a glazing, comprising: stacking a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a photopolymer film, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet to provide a lamination stack; &airing the lamination stack; autoclaving the lamination stack to provide a laminated glazing; applying a reactive light to the photopolymer film in the laminated glazing, wherein reactive light is applied to the laminated glazing through a master holographic film; and bleaching the laminated glazing such that the photopolymer film is no longer reactive to light exposure.

A contact lens manufacturing method for removing a contact lens from a pair of molds, the contact lens being produced by polymerizing a monomer included in the pair of molds which are obtained by assembling a lower mold for forming a front curve of the contact lens and an upper mold for forming a base curve of the contact lens, the method including: (A) a first peeling step to peel the contact lens from the lens formation surface of the upper mold; (B) a separation step to separate the contact lens from the lens formation surface of the upper mold; (C) a second peeling step to peel the contact lens whose periphery sticks to the lens formation surface of the lower mold; and (D) a third peeling step to peel the contact lens, whose periphery has been peeled, from the lens formation surface of the lower mold.

A mandrel has an outer peripheral member that shapes an outer peripheral surface of a mandrel, and a regulation member that regulates movement of the outer peripheral surface toward the radially inner side. A manufacturing device for a tubular member includes a radial movement mechanism that deforms the outer peripheral surface by actuating the regulation member into the outer peripheral surface in a winding shape and the outer peripheral surface in a separable shape, the separable shape being obtained by moving the outer peripheral surface in the winding shape toward the radially inner side and allowing the mandrel and the tubular member to be separated in the axial direction of the mandrel.
