To provide a resin molding mold capable of forming a resin molded product having embossing in which by controlling appearance of gloss, its texture is improved, and the resin molded product is prevented from occurrence of white blurring on the surface on which the molded embossing is formed. A resin molding mold in accordance with the present application is used for molding a resin molded product having embossing formed thereon. The resin molding mold includes a molding mold and a buffer layer formed on an inside mold surface of the molding mold. The buffer layer is formed by a mixture of a thermosetting resin and fine particles having substantially spherical shapes. The fine particles have a bulk specific gravity in a range from 0.4 g/ml or more to 0.9 g/ml or less, and on the surface of the buffer layer, a plurality of gloss adjusting convex portions having substantially spherical shapes derived from the fine particles are formed.

Tooling packages for mold building structures, mold structures, and methods of making mold structures are described.

There is disclosed a method of designing a plybook (204, 708) for a composite component (402), comprising: defining a component volume (12) corresponding to the composite component (402) to be manufactured; defining a plurality of successive plies (20) of composite material to fill the component volume (12); simulating at least some of the plurality of successive plies (20) of composite material based on an estimate of variable cured ply thickness, wherein the variable cured ply thickness is estimated by: simulating at least a portion of a respective ply (20) of composite material; and estimating a cured ply thickness for the portion of composite material at least partly based on local conditions of the portion. A plybook (204, 708) is defined based on the plurality of simulated plies (20).

An inorganic composite, the use of the inorganic composite in tools and molds, a mechanical forming tool, a mold, and a process for manufacturing inorganic composite tools and molds. The composite material mold and/or mechanical forming tool, metal forming, casting or injection mold, said molds or tools have physicochemical properties. The manufacturing process provides fast, low-cost, high-quality manufacture and reduced energy and raw material consumption, making industrial production economically feasible by forming of structural composite materials and bringing environmental advantages.

The present invention is an apparatus for curing composites out-of-autoclave and out-of-oven. The apparatus is a multilayered composite tool for shaping and curing composites. It also contains a sealant layer and composite resistive heating element on the tool's surface. This heating element provides heat to the composites during cure while binding it to the other layers, eliminating the need for external heat from autoclave and oven sources. A ceramic layer is applied to the top surface of the resistive heater for electrical insulation, heater protection and to provide a smooth surface for finish for the composite components being processed with the invention. A method for using the invention is also described. Finally, one embodiment of the invention is presented where a negative composite tool is created to apply additional pressure to the composite component during curing. This additional pressure enables the current invention to more closely mimic autoclave composite processing.

The present disclosure relates to methods and components for the bonding together of plastic components during a manufacturing and/or assembly process to create molds for lost-wax casting.

Apparatuses, devices, systems 1 and methods for resin transfer moulding of composite articles are disclosed. A mould enclosure enclosing a fibre pack (9) is provided and one or more resin ports (6a-6e) are provided along a resin flow path within the fibre pack (9). Resin ingress into the fibre pack (9) is controlled via valves (44a-44e) or a flow control mechanism (30), each being operable to impose a flow rate on resin passing into the fibre pack (9).

The invention molecularly equips polyester or polyolefin molding compositions in situ with zinc ions before extrusion, enabling direct processing of the molding compositions from the melt even at high temperatures and ensuring a long-term antibacterial action. The inventive molding compositions include at least one polyester polymer or polyolefin polymer and at least one zinc salt-organoligand complex.

An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a reactor capable of both absorbing a dimensional variation of a core and preventing deformation due to a resin pressure during molding are provided. An apparatus for manufacturing a reactor is provided with a core. The apparatus includes a mold including a cavity for housing the core. The mold includes a plurality of pins protruding into the cavity. When the core is disposed in the cavity, at least one of the plurality of pins is not fixed, and each of the pins functions as a positioning pin. When a molded article is molded, the pin is fixed, and each pin functions as a core support pin for supporting the core against a resin pressure during molding.

The present disclosure generally relates to integrated core-shell investment casting molds that provide an indentation structure corresponding to a thin root component of the turbine blade or vane (i.e. angel wing, skirt, damper lug).
