A tablet press for producing tablets including: a press chamber, a receiving chamber, a first material container having the first active substance with a first dosing device, a controller, and an input device. The press chamber has an extendable upper punch, an extendable lower punch, and a die. The input device inputs a target indicating a number of produced tablets and a target mass indicating a quantity of the first active substance and transmits the target number and the target mass to the controller. The controller actuates the first dosing device, the upper punch, and the lower punch such that a quantity of the first active substance that corresponds to the target mass is filled into a central opening of the die and pressed by the punches to form a tablet, and to repeat until the target number of tablets are produced.

A food baking apparatus includes a compressible die and a mechanical stop for controlling a die spacing of the compressible die. The mechanical stop includes a supporting system and a mounting element mounted onto the supporting system. The mounting element includes at least one protrusion having a particular amount of protrusion from the mounting element, which amount of protrusion may be adjustable for any single protrusion. By translation or rotation of the supporting system and/or the mounting element during operation of the apparatus, a protrusion is selected. The protrusions mechanically stop further compression of the dies during an operation of the food baking apparatus. Thus, the selection determines the die spacing applicable for the baking process, based on the amount of protrusion of the selected protrusion.

A method for manufacturing a jewel of the polycrystalline type, in particular for a timepiece, the jewel including, for example, poly-ruby of the type al2O3Cr or Zirconia of the type ZrO2, the method including a first step of producing a precursor, and a second step of pressing the precursor in order to form a body, the pressing being carried out using a pressing device provided with an upper die and a lower die defining a pressing space in which the precursor is disposed, the device being provided with a wire passing through at least part of the lower die to open out into the pressing space, the lower die being capable of sliding about the wire, the pressing taking place by bringing the lower die and the upper die closer to one another to form a body comprising a bottom face provided with a hole.

A method of manufacturing a component for use in a high pressure press includes successively depositing a volume of one or more materials using a deposition device to build a three dimensional body of the component having a selected material property varied along at least one direction of the component for use in the high pressure press.

Each of a plurality of divided dies (11, 12) has a divided surface (111, 121) and a defining surface (112, 122) which defines a cavity 100. The divided surface has an inclined divided surface (1112, 1212) inclined with respect to the translational direction, and at least one pair of perpendicular divided surfaces (1112, 1113, 1211, 1213) which is disposed on the opposite side based on the defining surface and is perpendicular to the translational direction. Each of the plurality of divided dies (11) and (12), while abutting against each other at, at least the at least one pair of perpendicular divided surfaces of the divided surface, abuts against each other in a state of being spaced apart from each other with a gap d within a range of 1 to 30 m at the inclined divided surface (1112, 1212), thereby forming the cavity 100.

A sintering jig according to the disclosure includes a first plate including a plurality of protrusions and a second plate stacked on the first plate and including through holes corresponding to the protrusions. The through hole includes a cylindrical portion through which the protrusion enter and exit and a conical portion widening towards an upper surface of the second plate from the cylindrical portion.

Die assemblies for forming a firearm projectile and methods of utilizing the die assemblies are disclosed herein. The die assemblies include a forming die, a first punch, and a second punch. The forming die defines a first side, a second side that is opposed to the first side, and a die cavity that extends between the first side and the second side. The first punch is configured to seal against the forming die from the first side. The second punch is configured to be received within the die cavity from the second side. When the first punch seals against the forming die and the second punch is received within the die cavity, the first punch, the second punch, and the forming die collectively define a forming surface shaped to define an external contour of the firearm projectile.

A cutting insert is provided, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces spanning therebetween, and a cutting edge formed at an intersection of the side surface and a forwardly-disposed portion of the top the surface. It further comprises a cooling cavity projecting into the insert, a top end thereof being disposed further forwardly than an open bottom end thereof. The cooling cavity defines at least one molding axis such that a solid element having the shape of the cooling cavity and completely inserted therein may be retracted intact therefrom along a linear path parallel to the molding axis. A circumscribing portion is formed on the side surfaces encircling the cutting insert. The circumscribing portion is formed parallel to the molding axis and has a non-zero height along its entire extent. The cutting insert does not extend beyond the circumscribing portion.

A compacting device and a method for producing a cutting insert green body by compacting a powder is provided. A die contributes to defining a die cavity that defines the shape of the green body to be formed. The die includes an upper die part defining an upper part of said die cavity together with an upper punch, a lower die part defining a lower part of the die cavity together with a lower punch, and intermediary die members, which are moveable in a plane perpendicular to a pressing axis and which define an intermediary part of the die cavity. The intermediary part of the die cavity defines an undercut portion, which extends circumferentially around the green body to be formed and which includes three or more peripheral indexing grooves in the green body.
