A pressing assembly (10) and a method for forming a depression (105) within a moving, wet gypsum board (100) is disclosed. The assembly comprises a pressing head (16) comprising a pressing surface which is arranged to contact the board, and a support member (17), the pressing head (16) being arranged to compress a portion of the board between the pressing surface and the support member (17) to form a depression (105) within the board (10). The pressing surface comprises a first and second surface portion (24, 25) separated by a relief portion (27), which is arranged to press the board (100) toward the support head (17) with less compressive force than the first and second surface portion (24, 25). The assembly further comprises drive means (18, 19, 22) for moving the pressing head and the support member in a first direction which substantially corresponds with the direction of the moving board, and a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to a plane of the board, while the speed of the pressing assembly in the first direction substantially matches the speed of the board.

The present invention relates to a cuttable cladding panel with a matching pattern, the use, and the design method thereof. The cladding panel comprises an irregular pattern (10) of elongated lines, veins, and/or strips; transverse cutting lines (20) all of them cutting through the pattern at identical transverse intersecting points symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis of symmetry (SL); pairs of longitudinal cutting lines (30) symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of symmetry (SL), each pair of longitudinal cutting lines cutting through the pattern at identical longitudinal intersecting points; with said cutting lines crossing one another at corner points (P); wherein each transverse intersecting point (21) is at the same distance from a corner point (P) as a corresponding longitudinal intersecting point (31); with two parts obtained by cutting the cladding panel (1) along any cutting line having a matching and continuous irregular pattern (10).

A concrete impression template is provided. The template includes a plate having an upper surface, a lower surface and an edge. The lower surface and the upper surface may each be substantially planar. The edge and the lower surface may form a design shaped.

A three-dimensional manufacturing method includes: forming and adding a layer of secondary particles to manufacture a three-dimensional object, the secondary particles obtained by granulating primary particles; and heating the three-dimensional object to produce a sintered compact.

A novel method for subzero molding and imprinting includes the steps of shaping a photo-curable resin at subzero temperatures, triggering a photo or thermal initiator to set the photo-curable resin in its shape to produce a substrate, and de-binding and sintering the substrate. The novel system includes a pneumatic punch press, a male mold core and a female mold cavity, a male imprinting bit, a cold plate, and a resin vat containing a photo-curable resin. The inventive system and method produce objects with a cell wall thickness of 10-100 m all the way to very large dense parts with no size limitations and at much higher speeds than any existing conventional technologies.

This document describes systems and processes for forming stone slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, shower surrounds, tiles, or the like). In some embodiments, the stone slabs may be processed by partially filling a mold with a particulate mineral mix, and preparing a top surface of the particulate mineral mix to received one or more additional materials.
