Methods of forming and/or manufacturing polymeric stents are disclosed. Polymeric stents are also disclosed.

A preform is biaxially stretch blow molded into a container by using a liquid as a pressurizing medium. The preform is formed in a bottomed tubular shape including a mouth, a trunk, and a bottom by extrusion blow molding. The preform includes bottom parting lines, which are formed in the bottom due to the extrusion blow molding, and the bottom parting lines are configured to extend to the outer side from the axis of the bottom to divide the bottom into at least three parts in the circumferential direction. Further, a container is formed by biaxially stretch blow molding the preform by using the liquid as the pressurizing medium.

It is disclosed an injection moulding press comprising a plurality of moulds, with an injector for each mould, mounted on platform with which they can be rotated along a circumference.

A method of making an upwardly open container having a base wall, an upright perimeter wall, and an upright internal wall between one part of the perimeter wall and another part of the perimeter wall, the perimeter wall and the internal wall forming first and second compartments within the container, wherein the method comprises injecting a molten water-soluble polymer into a mold cavity between cooperating male and female mold parts; wherein there are independently movable first and second male parts separated by a gap in which the internal wall is formed, and wherein the first and second male parts correspond to the first and second compartments of the container to be formed.

It is disclosed an injection moulding press comprising a plurality of moulds, with an injector for each mould, mounted on platform with which they can be rotated along a circumference.

An apparatus for manufacturing the ends of electric cables, which comprises a section for injection molding on at least one end, a first section comprising means for applying electrical connection elements to one end of the cable and, optionally, a second section for applying further electrical connection elements to the remaining end of the cable, and means for testing the cable prior to its output from the apparatus, in which retaining means for both ends of the cables in all the manufacturing sections and means for moving said ends from the retaining means of one section to the retaining means of the next section are also present. The molding section comprises a plurality of molds, with an injector for each mold, mounted on platform with which they can be rotated along a circumference.

Provided are a molding screw and an FBI molding machine using the same for manufacturing resin molded articles for reduced manufacturing variation with use of a resin powder, an additive, and a mixture material constituted by an inorganic material or an organic material. The molding screw can include a feeding portion for feeding a molding material, a compressing portion, and a metering portion that extend continuously from the feeding portion. The feeding portion and the compressing portion each can be provided with a spiral flight. The flight of the compressing portion can include multiple sub flights that extend in a spiral manner in a screw axis direction. The sub flights can each have a polygonal shape with rounded corner portions, and are arranged such that the corner portions are shifted by a set angle with respect to the screw axis.
