Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to a system for manufacturing an article. The system includes a first mold half and a second mold half. The first mold half and the second mold half define a molding cavity therebetween. The molding cavity is configured to receive two outer layers and a high viscosity material provided between the two outer layers. The system also includes an actuator configured to move at least one of the first mold half and the second mold half towards the other. The first mold half and the second mold half are configured to deform the high viscosity material in conformation with a shape of the article. The high viscosity material fills a space between the two outer layers such that the two outer layers encase the high viscosity material therebetween.
