An electrophoretic device includes a fiber layer, an electrophoretic particle configured to migrate through a gap in the fiber layer, and a partition wall extended in a thickness direction of the fiber layer to separate the fiber layer into a plurality of migration cells. The partition wall includes a cured body of a curable resin, and the cured body includes a constriction part between both end portions of the fiber layer in the thickness direction.

The device relates to a device for producing plastic bodies wherein the device comprises a photopolymer curing unit comprising at least one radiation source with a selected radiation spectrum or spectrums for curing of light hardening photopolymer, a mold which mold is partially or wholly comprised of light transmissive material which material allows the passage of radiation of selected spectrum or spectrums for curing of light hardening photopolymers, and a fixture for securing and rotating the mold along one or more axis.

Light hardening photopolymer is introduced into the cavity of the mold and exposed to a selected radiation spectrum or spectrums for curing of light hardening photopolymers through the mold light transmissive material thereby hardening and curing the light hardening photopolymer whereupon the cured light hardening photopolymer is removed from the mold and the process repeated.

The device permits the production of photopolymer molded bodies or photopolymer coated bodies in a continuous or discontinuous process.

In systems for printing a viscous material, the printing and post processing of the viscous material are performed sequentially one after another. In an initial step, a viscous material is printed on a sample mounted on a receiver substrate using a donor module and a laser scanner, and then the donor module is replaced with a post processing system for performing a post processing operation (and vice versa). Multiple post processing operations can be performed, and multiple different materials can be printed on the same layer. The systems can increase the speed, resolution and diversity of materials printed on the same sample, and opens the possibilities for new designs.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing and curing of liquid media, comprising a supply system comprising at least one reservoir for the liquid medium, a nozzle for ejecting the liquid medium into a mould (10) and/or onto a workpiece and means (22) connecting the nozzle and the reservoir; and a microwave system (16,18) which comprises a microwave source (16) for producing microwave radiation for irradiating the liquid medium in an irradiation zone (20) in the supply system, wherein the irradiation zone (20) is arranged between the reservoir and the nozzle. The apparatus further comprises a displacement assembly for translating and/or rotating the nozzle with respect to the mould (10) and/or the workpiece in a controlled manner. According to further aspects, the invention also relates to a system and a method for dispensing and curing of liquid media.
