There is provided a mold conveying guide device for use in replacement of a mold by conveying the mold into and out of a mold fixing position in an injection molding machine. A connecting arm is attached to the mold and projects in a direction in which the mold is conveyed into the mold fixing position. A guide roller is rotatably supported at a tip end portion of the connecting arm. The guide roller is configured to rotate while being in contact with a mold attaching surface of at least one of a fixed platen and a movable platen, and configured to guide the mold such that the mold can come close to or move away from the at least one of the fixed platen and the movable platen.

A method for molding a display module includes forming a cavity using a die plate of a first die and a plurality of side surface dies; filling the cavity with a coating material; fixing the display module to a second die using a coupling body disposed on a second surface of the display module, opposite of a first surface of the display module disposed with a plurality of LEDs; soaking the display module in the coating material filled in the cavity; curing the coating material; and separating the cured coating material of the display module from the die plate.

A molded part including a first member having a plurality of openings and a second member contacting with a peripheral edge of each of the plurality of openings so as to cover the openings, and having a hollow portion formed by sealing the contact portion with a sealing material, wherein: the second member defines a flow channel for filling the sealing material between the first member and the second member; the second member has a branched shape in which sections corresponding to positions covering the plurality of openings are branched from each other, and portions near a gate of the flow channel are connected as a common section; and the branched shape has a bridge structure for connecting the respective branched sections.

An instrument panel unit (2) includes an instrument panel (3) and a decorative sheet (4). The instrument panel (3) includes a sticking portion (3a) and an exposed portion (3b). A plurality of insertion grooves 3c and insertion holes 3d are formed alternately at an end on a rear side of the sticking portion (3a), into which bent pieces (4a) formed at a rear end of the decorative sheet (4) are inserted. A groove front-surface (3g) forming the insertion groove (3c) of the instrument panel (3) is formed in a tapered shape such that a width between the groove front-surface and an opposing groove rear-surface (3h) gradually increases upwardly. The bent piece (4a) is formed to be thinner than the groove width at the upper part serving as the entrance part of the insertion groove (3c) and to be thicker than the groove width of a groove bottom-surface (3i).

A method for producing a three-dimensional object includes specifying reference-object information which describes data of a reference object, determining load information which describes at least one load value in a specific load situation inside the reference object described by the reference-object information, determining load regions having load values that deviate from a reference-load value inside the reference object described by the reference-object information, on the basis of the load information, determining object information which describes geometrically structural data of the object to be produced, on the basis of the load information and of the boundary condition information, and producing the three-dimensional object.

A vehicle component, and a method and tool for forming the component are provided. First and second tools with first and second surfaces, respectively, are provided. The first tool is translated along a first axis towards the second tool such that the first and second surfaces cooperate to define a mold cavity configured to form an accessory mount feature with an aperture. The second surface is configured to form an integrated rib extending outwardly from an upper surface of the mount feature to a planar bearing surface surrounding the aperture with the planar bearing surface oriented at an acute angle relative to the upper surface. The first axis is substantially parallel to the upper surface.
