A method of forming a base for additive manufacture in order to print an object or part object on the wax base involves forming the wax base on a printing tray. The base is constructed by providing a layer of wax on a surface of said printing tray. The wax is heated to above a melting point thereof so that the wax in contact with the tray is molten, and then the wax is slowly cooled while continually pressing on the wax. The slow cooling ensures a bond between the wax and the printing tray which may be enhanced if the tray surface is roughened.

Described is a resinous structure derived from fluorine-containing polymers useful as a mold having excellent dimensional stability.

The present disclosure relates to a press forming apparatus, comprising: a die in which a molded portion is formed by being recessed inwardly from an upper surface thereof; a stripper for fixing an object to be formed disposed on the die; a punch provided above the die to be movable upwardly and downwardly, and inserted into the molded portion when descending, to form an accommodating portion in the object to be formed, wherein a surface of the molded portion, in contact with the object to be formed, is curved, and the punch comprises a vent for blowing air onto an upper surface of the object to be formed. According to the present disclosure, a molded portion of the pouch film may be uniformly stretched, and occurrence of cracks may be prevented, so that workability and productivity may be improved. Furthermore, long-term reliability of the secondary battery may be secured.

A method for manufacturing a fiber reinforced structure includes the following. A mandrel of a first material comprises a hollow interior and an aperture that allows a fluid to enter the interior. A layer of a second material provided on the mandrel includes an uncured resin and fibers. The mandrel and the layer are placed in a mold cavity formed by a mold. A pressurized fluid is introduced into the interior of the mandrel via the aperture to generate a force acting to expand the mandrel outward. The mandrel is heated so that it becomes deformable and expand outward to press the layer against the mold. The layer is heated so that it cures. The mandrel is then heated to a temperature above its melting point of the first material so that it melts, after which it is removed.

A mold, a molding apparatus, and a method for manufacturing articles or components is used to manufacture an article or component of the article that at least partially comprises an ultraviolet (UV) curable material. The mold and apparatus comprise at least one mold wall formed of a cyclic olefin copolymer, which is in contact with UV radiation curable material and allows the article or component of the article to be exposed to UV radiation for a period of time in order to provide for at least partial cure thereof.

The method includes producing an initial preform on a mandrel by filament winding without generating shrinking, cutting the initial preform to the correct length, placing the assembly provided beforehand with internal drainage device and pressurization device into a female mold, and bringing the preform assembly to a softening temperature and pressurizing the assembly at both ends until it is deformed by a diametrical increase in its dimensions. The method further includes bringing the impregnation resin to polymerization temperature and pressure in order to allow the workpiece to consolidate, its external shape becoming consistent with the internal shape of the mold, opening the mold and removing the workpiece from the mold, and machining the final shapes of the composite workpiece.

A macromolecule forming mold, which is integrally formed by a polymer body. Multiple communicated runners are formed inside the polymer body; a material injection port is penetrated in the surface of the polymer body, and the material injection port is communicated with the runners, so that a thermosetting castable fills the runners by means of the material injection port and is cured and molded, and the polymer body is damaged to take out a thermosetting elastomer. A thermosetting elastomer and a manufacturing method therefor. The thermosetting elastomer has the characteristics such as excellent physical properties and lightweight properties.
