Molds are produced by additive manufacturing and define parts cavities with part infills that can be ribbed or cellular. The molds are processed to sequentially remove infills to open part cavities to which part materials are introduced. Embedded or captured parts can be molded, and thermal channels can be provided to thermally isolate different materials.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a negative skin and a tool. Such a tool can be used, for example, in the automotive industry.

A part (21), in particular a wristlet, including at least two sets (1) of elements (3, 5, 7), in particular links, assembled together. The securing between the elements (3, 5, 7) within a set and between sets is implemented via a gluing (15) rather than by a screwing. Also, a related method of manufacturing the part (21).

Collection of biological fluids. At least one example is a polymeric sleeve including: an elongate body that defines a main passageway; an internal chamber defined within the main passageway; a first flange suspended within the internal chamber at a first position along the longitudinal central axis; and an aperture through the first flange, the aperture at least partially aligned with the longitudinal central axis.

A moulding composition comprising at least one sugar component in a weight proportion of at least 20% in relation to the weight of the moulding composition, and at least one aggregate as well as a mould for a moulding process, wherein the mould is a compact three-dimensional structure made of the moulding composition, and a process for moulding a workpiece with the mould.

A method produces an elastically deformable molded part having a number of undercut molded-part regions, by use of a mold. To provide a technique which makes it possible to produce individual molded parts which are elastically deformable and have undercut regions from soft materials in a precise and cost-effective manner, a method is performed in which a molded-part material is introduced into the mold. The mold has a shaping contour with a number of special contour regions, which are configured for shaping the number of undercut molded-part regions of the molded part, and in which the molded part is removed from the mold by at least partially deforming the mold together with the molded part therein in such a way that the molded part elastically deforms and the mold at least partially, but in any event to the extent of the special contour regions, breaks up.

A hybrid mandrel for forming a composite part may comprise a core and a sleeve located around the core. The core may include a rigid material. The sleeve may comprise an elastomeric material. The part may be formed by locating the hybrid mandrel in an injection mold, depositing a molten resin around the hybrid mandrel, curing the molten resin; and removing the hybrid mandrel.

The present invention discloses a preparation method for a hollow radiator and a hollow radiator. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) providing a feed and an insert raw material; 2) molding the insert raw material into an insert; 3) placing the insert in a cavity of a mold, and filling the cavity with the feed by injection molding in such a manner that the insert is surrounded by the feed, thereby obtaining a green body with the insert; 4) performing debinding treatment on the green body with the insert to remove the insert, thereby obtaining the green body of a hollow structure; and 5) sintering the green body to obtain the hollow radiator. By the preparation method for a hollow radiator according to the present invention, a radiator of a complex hollow structure can be fabricated, and the heat dissipation effect of the radiator can be improved. Moreover, the airtightness and leakproofness of the radiator can be guaranteed for a long time.

A method of producing an operating fluid tank includes providing a mold core produced from a mold core material. The mold core has a holding region, by which the mold core is held in a tool mold or in a plastic molding machine. The mold core is surrounded with a plastic melt, and an opening remains in the operating fluid tank. The mold core material is removed from the operating fluid tank by the remaining opening, and a structural element is arranged at the mold core separate from the holding region, and is held by the mold core while being surrounded with the plastic melt. An inner surface of the operating fluid tank is then formed, to which a structural feature arranged on the structural element is transferred. The structural element is removed from the operating fluid tank through the remaining opening after at least partial hardening of the melt.

A method of forming channels within a substrate includes: (a) molding a sacrificial component directly into the substrate; (b) igniting the sacrificial component to cause a deflagration of the sacrificial component, thereby forming a channel in the substrate; and (c) cleaning the channel in the substrate to remove byproducts of the deflagration of the sacrificial component. The sacrificial component includes a combustible material with a protective shell, and the substrate includes a polymeric material.
