The technical solution relates to the field of processing polymers and can be used in various branches of the national economy for manufacturing hollow articles of the bodies-of-revolution type (tubes), and in particular for manufacturing semifinished biodegradable polymeric stents which are usable in medicine for replacing hollow organs, for example blood vessels. The apparatus for manufacturing thin-walled bodies of revolution comprises a heatable expander which is mounted rotatably about a longitudinal axis, and a feeder for supplying mouldable material, said feeder being mounted above the expander so as to be movable therealong, wherein the lower part of the feeder is heatable, the expander is hollow with a reflective internal surface, and the heater of the expander is in the form of a laser, the radiation of which is transported into the expander. The use of the apparatus will make it possible to reduce the thermal action on a polymer when producing semi-finished articles with defined geometrical dimensions from polymeric materials.

Provided is a transdermal absorption sheet capable of improving strength against impact at the time of puncture. A transdermal absorption sheet includes a sheet portion and a plurality of needle-like protruding portions arranged on a first principal surface of the sheet portion, in which the sheet portion has a center portion which is a region in which the plurality of needle-like protruding portions are formed, and an outer edge portion which is a region from the center portion to an end portion, and a maximum thickness of a thickness portion of the outer edge portion is larger than an average thickness of the center portion.

A method of forming a three-dimensional object, the object having a wall and an internal cavity, with the wall having an upper portion and a lower portion, is carried out by: providing a carrier and an optically transparent member having a build surface, the carrier and the build surface defining a build region therebetween; filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid; continuously or intermittently irradiating the build region with light through the optically transparent member to form a solid polymer from the polymerizable liquid, and continuously or intermittently advancing (e.g., sequentially or concurrently with said irradiating step) said carrier away from said build surface to form said three-dimensional object from said solid polymer, with the method further including the step of forming a breathing orifice in the wall upper portion (e.g., adjacent the carrier) while forming said three-dimensional object. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described.

In one aspect, methods of printing a 3D article are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of printing a 3D article comprises selectively depositing a first portion of build material in a fluid state onto a substrate to form a first region of build material; selectively depositing a first portion of support material in a fluid state to form a first region of support material; and selectively depositing a second portion of build material in a fluid state to form a second region of build material, wherein the first region of support material is disposed between the first region of build material and the second region of build material in a z-direction of the article. In some cases, the first region of support material forms a grayscale pattern and/or a CMY color pattern in combination with the first region of build material and/or the second region of build material.

A method of fabricating a light emitting device comprises providing a mold having an unpolished surface with an arithmetic mean roughness R.sub.a in a range from 0.1 μm to 10 μm, depositing a thin polymer film over the surface of the mold, wherein the film has a thickness in a range from 1 μm to 100 μm, positioning a light emitting body onto the thin polymer film, wherein the light emitting body includes an anode, a cathode, and a light emitting layer positioned between the anode and the cathode, and separating the thin polymer film with the light emitting body from the mold. A light emitting device is also described.
