Methods, apparatus, and systems for cutting material used in fused deposition modeling systems are provided, which comprise a ribbon including one or more perforations. Material is passed through at least one perforation and movement of the ribbon cuts the material. A further embodiment comprises a disk including one or more blade structures, each forming at least one cavity. Material is passed through at least one cavity and a rotational movement of the disk cuts the material. A further embodiment comprises a slider-crank mechanism including a slider coupled to a set of parallel rails of a guide shaft. The slider moves along a length of the rails to cut the material. Yet another embodiment comprises one or more rotatable blade structures coupled to at least one rod. The rotation of the blade structures causes the blade structures to intersect and cut extruded material during each rotation.

The nozzle device including a gas channel having an opening which is associated with a plurality of melt channels of the arrangement, wherein the gas channel is designed to produce a gas emission which the melt emitted from the melt channels collects. The melt nozzle including an arrangement of capillary tubes in order to form the melt channels. A method for producing a nozzle device including providing of a nozzle body having one or more receiving channels and the arranging and fastening of capillary tubes in the one or more receiving channels.

An object of the present invention is to provide a polyphenylene ether melt extrusion formed body which can be obtained by melt forming without mixing other resin components and has excellent properties such as mechanical strength, and a method for producing the same. The present invention relates to a polyphenylene ether melt extrusion formed body comprising a polyphenylene ether component which has a rearrangement structure having a continuous structure bonded at an ortho-position in a repeating unit continuously bonded at a para-position.

The present invention relates to polypropylene particles and a method for preparing same, the polypropylene particles being formed from a polypropylene resin, and having a melting index (M.I.) of 1000 g/10 min or more when the particles are re-melted under a temperature condition of 150° C. to 250° C. and a condition of atmospheric pressure to a pressure of 15 MPa.

An extrusion die may include a first die component and a second die component configured to mate with one another. The first die component may have a first body with a rim extending axially therefrom and at least one first channel through which a material is flowable, where the rim may define a recess. The second die component may have a second body with a platform extending axially therefrom and at least one second channel through which the material is flowable. The recess of the first die component may be configured to receive the platform. The rim of the first die component may include at least one protrusion extending radially into the recess, and the platform may include at least one notch complementary to the at least one protrusion to form a concordant step register for positioning the first die component and the second die component with respect to each other.

An apparatus is intended to produce a multi-layer extrudate comprising an intermediate material interposed between at least two layers of outer material. The apparatus comprises an arrangement of ducts which includes a first duct and a second duct through which respective lateral flows of outer material can flow. The arrangement of ducts also includes a further duct through which a central flow comprising at least the intermediate material can flow. The apparatus further comprises at least one obstructing element for interacting at least with the central flow while the central flow is advancing in an advancement direction. The at least one obstructing element is movable with a movement having a component directed transversally to the advancement direction, so as to obstruct the central flow in the advancement direction at preset intervals.

A method for manufacturing an external component for watches or jewellery, especially a bracelet, includes the steps of: providing a substrate including a first face opposite to a second face and co-extrusion coating the first face and the second face of the substrate respectively with a first and a second band of synthetic material. The first band forms on the first face a transparent or translucent layer so that all or part of the substrate remains visible.

A method for the production control of an extruded plastic product with the following steps: recording at a first measuring point a first actual temperature of a measuring area provided on the plastic product, recording a second actual temperature of the measuring area at a second measuring point which is arranged at a distance from the first measuring point in a direction of extrusion of the plastic product, determining a setpoint temperature of the measuring area at the second measuring point, and outputting information on whether the second actual temperature is inside or outside a prescribed tolerance range of the setpoint temperature.
