The method comprises the following steps: (a) supplying at least one cosmetic material and supplying at least one photoactivatable material; (b) forming a layer (19) comprising on at least a first region of the layer (19), a photoactivatable material supplied in step (a); (c) illuminating at least the first region of the layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (d) forming an additional layer (19) on at least a second region of the additional layer (19), a photoactivatable material supplied in step (a), (e) illuminating at least the second region of the additional layer (19) to activate the photoactivatable material; (f) repeating steps (d) to (e) until the three-dimensional object is formed.
The cosmetic composition comprised in the three-dimensional object or forming the three-dimensional object being recoverable after the three-dimensional object is formed.

A resin-sealed component includes a part to be sealed, a first sealing member covering at least a part of the part to be sealed, and a second sealing member sealing a surface of the first sealing member. The first sealing member and the second sealing member are made of thermosetting resins. The second sealing member is made of the thermosetting resin having a gelation time longer than that of the first sealing member.

For manufacturing composite parts (1) having an inner hollow moulded body (2) with openings (3), which are accessible from outside, the moulded body is introduced into a moulding tool on the mould walls on which a shell layer (11) was applied. The hollow space between the moulded body (2) and the shell layer (11) is filled with a thermally insulating plastic foam (12) which is foamed in the moulding tool and bonds to the moulded body and the shell layer. After removal, a moulded body is provided, which has a qualitatively good surface formed by the shell layer. Such a composite part is preferably used for connecting thermally insulating pipes.

An electronic core for a metal card, such as a transaction card, having a metal core and a cured polymer top surface, is manufactured by a process in which a two-part polymer mixture is introduced to a reservoir holding the metal core in a process chamber, and then a partial vacuum followed by pressurization with inert gas are used to reduce the volume of voids in the partially-cured polymer mixture, followed by curing outside of the process chamber, and then the top surface is removed by a treatment operation, such as milling or etching, to form a reduced upper surface with less surface irregularities which is more substantially plan the original top surface.

Microneedle arrays and methods of forming the same can include one or more bioactive components bonded to a biocompatible material such that the one or more bioactive components are cleavable in vivo to release the bioactive component from the biocompatible material.

A composite piece tool used to create a composite piece. The tool includes a substrate having a substrate surface, walls disposed on the substrate and extending from the substrate surface in a thickness direction of the composite piece to define opposite locations of longitudinal composite piece ends and composite piece sides, a tooling surface disposed to occupy an entirety of a space delimited by the walls and on which the composite piece formed and a servo controller coupled to the tooling surface and configured to move the tooling surface upwardly and downwardly relative to the substrate surface and walls to form the composite piece.

Devices, systems, and methods appropriate for use in medical training that include materials that better mimic natural human tissue are disclosed. In one aspect, multi-layer tissue simulations are provided. In another aspect, male genitalia models are provided. In another aspect, abdominal surgical wall inserts are provided. Systems and methods associated with these devices are also provided.

This invention designs and builds multiple layers (two layers or more) of millable dental blocks or disks for milling of various dental devices, specifically denture base blocks or disks of denture base material, where milled teeth cavities to receive artificial denture tooth materials to form final dental devices, such as partial and full dentures. This invention also designs and builds multiple layers (two layers or more) of millable denture base or denture blocks or disks comprised of denture base or/and denture tooth materials to form final dental devices, such as partial and full dentures. A method for manufacturing a layered denture is provided. The invention provides a multiple layered denture base block (or disk) for milling a denture base. The invention also provides a multiple layered denture block (or disk) for milling a denture. Highly shape adjustable or shape memory polymer layer(s) may be used in these multiple layered forms. Different layer of material has different mechanical and physical properties to meet different need, which provide added benefits to the patients, dental professional and dental laboratory.

A barrier wall is formed by rotating a mold to a horizontal orientation so that a rear wall of the mold is horizontally disposed and an encircling sidewall upstands from the rear wall, the floor and encircling sidewall at least partially bounding a compartment, an upper end of the encircling sidewall at least partially bounding a first access opening to the compartment. A first material is disposed into the compartment through the first access opening, at least a portion of the material being curable. A cover is placed over the first access opening to enclose the compartment. The mold is then rotated from the horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation. A portion of the sidewall is then moved to form a second access opening to the compartment. A second material is then dispensed into the compartment, at least a portion of the second material being curable.

The present disclosure relates to insulation systems. The teachings thereof may be embodied in an insulation system for an electrical machine. For example, an insulation system may comprise: solid insulation materials; an impregnating resin having oxirane functionalities; a depot accelerator distributed throughout the solid insulation materials; and a catalyst for initiating hardening of the impregnating resin, wherein the catalyst is at least partly in gaseous form under hardening conditions.
