A method for manufacturing an electronic device casing having a coupling structure is provided. The electronic device casing is made of a casing material including a supportive substrate and a first thermoplastic substrate. A preliminary connecting section is formed on the first thermoplastic substrate by a hot-pressing molding process, and a molding plastic material is injected onto the preliminary connecting section by an in-mold injection process. After being cooled, the molding plastic material engages with the preliminary connecting section to form a secondary connecting section for a coupling element to couple with. Thus, the coupling structure of the electronic device casing can be directly formed during a manufacturing process without any additional procedures, thereby overall manufacturing time and costs are reduced.

An enclosure part for an information handling system is disclosed that may include materials formed together into a rectangular shape. The enclosure part may have a void on a core side and a flatness equal to or less than 0.5 mm. The materials may include a sheet of carbon fiber, a piece of non-woven carbon fiber, and a non-woven glass fiber. A method for manufacturing an enclosure part using through-plane temperature control may include inserting into a mold a sheet of carbon fiber and a piece of non-woven carbon fiber, heat pressing the sheet of carbon fiber with the piece of non-woven carbon fiber, and cooling a first portion of the mold including the sheet of carbon fiber and the piece of non-woven carbon fiber more quickly than a second portion of the mold including the sheet of carbon fiber, and removing the enclosure part from the mold.

A plated tubular lattice structure is described. The plated tubular lattice structure may comprise a backbone structure which may include a plurality of axial posts and a plurality of pyramidal structures extending laterally from the axial posts and connecting the axial posts at nodes. The plated tubular lattice structure may further comprise a metal plating layer plated on an outer surface of the backbone structure.

Waterproof, breathable garments and methods of making are provided. The garments may include a laminate of a seamless ePTFE membrane and at least one textile. The garment is conformable over a range of sizes, and may be shaped to fit numerous sizes and shapes of forming molds. The ePTFE membrane may shrink to fit, or, alternatively, be stretched to fit, a mold having a desired size to form a garment. Such a conformable ePTFE membrane may allow for forming multiple sizes of garments with various sizes and shapes of molds. In embodiments where the ePTFE membrane is seamless and continuous, the garment eliminates the need for a waterproof seam tape, which is conventionally used to make garments waterproof.

A portable information handling system housing fabricated from carbon fiber composite material has a PET film applied protective outer surface integrated with an in mold roll process. Heat applied to prepreg material having a polycarbonate resin aids transfer of outer surface protective material and decorative ink from a PET film during a mold insertion operation.

A method for manufacturing a breast prosthesis, in which a film bag is welded together from at least three film layers for producing at least two chambers.

A method of manufacturing a moulded article from first and second moulding compounds includes attaching a first moulding component to a carrier tool, placing the carrier tool and the attached first moulding component in a mould, applying a first moulding process, removing the carrier tool, placing a second moulding component in the mould, and applying a second moulding process to shape the first and second moulding components and bond the first moulding component to the second moulding component. A moulded article is also disclosed.

Production process of a composite product (1) comprising a core (2), a first layer (3) comprising a sheet impregnated with a solid polyurethane material, and a polymer-based film (7) applied to the first layer (3), wherein the process comprises: producing a semi-finished product comprising the core (2) and the sheet impregnated by a liquid mixture precursor of the solid polyurethane material; adhering the film (7) to a first half-mould (11) by applying a depression between the film (7) and the half-mould (11); pressing two half-moulds (11, 12) against each other with the semi-finished product interposed between two shaping surfaces (13), so that the film (7) comes into contact with the liquid mixture; with the semi-finished product in the mould, thermosetting the liquid mixture to transform it into the polyurethane solid material so that the film (7) firmly adheres to the first layer (3) and thus producing the composite product (1).

A multilayer plate with composite material and a method thereof are described. The multilayer plate includes an aluminum-based thin sheet and a composite material layer. The aluminum-based thin sheet includes a first passivation layer, an aluminum-based metal layer, and a second passivation layer sequentially. The aluminum-based thin sheet includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first and second surfaces are set with micro holes. A diameter of the micro holes in the second surface is ranging from 0.5 μm to 10 μm. The composite material layer includes a thermoplastic polymer and a fiber material. The composite material layer has a third surface and a fourth surface opposite each other. The second surface is adjacent to or connected to the third surface. At least one portion of the thermoplastic polymer fills into the micro holes in the second surface.

An automated manufacturing method and system and in-mold coated plastic article produced thereby are provided. The system includes a compression mold and a plurality of program-controlled manipulators. An automatic sprayer supported on a first manipulator sprays at least a portion of a mold surface with an in-mold coating composition. An end effector supported on a second manipulator picks up a heated blank of moldable plastic sheet material from an oven and places the heated blank between upper and lower mold halves of the mold. An inner portion of the heated blank is forced into an article-defining cavity of the mold and into contact with at least a portion of the in-mold coating composition. The in-mold coating composition and the inner portion of the heated blank cure and bond to one another so as to form the coated plastic article.
