The invention relates to a method for the stress-free polymerisation of large, three-dimensional dental material blocks that are suitable for producing dental prosthetic parts in a material removal method, said method comprising the following steps: (i) transferring the polymerisable dental material into a radiation-permeable three-dimensional casting or compression mould, so as to form a defined three-dimensional material geometry, (ii) optionally planarising at least one surface of the dental material in the three-dimensional casting or compression mould, and/or (iii) optionally applying pressure to the polymerisable material in the three-dimensional casting or compression mould, (iv) irradiating the polymerisable dental material from all sides with light in the UV/visible range, so as to form polymerised outer surfaces of the dental material in the form of a solid outer shell of the dental material, said shell being in the defined three-dimensional material geometry while the inner region of the material is not or is partially polymerised, (v) optionally removing the dental material with its dimensionally stable shell and defined three-dimensional geometry from the casting or compression mould, (vi) heating the material with the solid shell and defined three-dimensional geometry to between 60 °C and 150 °C for at least 90 minutes, and obtaining a material block that is substantially cavity-free and obtained while substantially maintaining the three-dimensional geometry that was set prior to polymerisation.

A method of forming a three-dimensional object, comprises providing a carrier and an optically transparent member having a build surface, the carrier and the build surface defining a build region therebetween; filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid; irradiating the build region through the optically transparent member to form a solid polymer from the polymerizable liquid while concurrently advancing the carrier away from the build surface to form the three-dimensional object from the solid polymer, while also concurrently: (i) continuously maintaining a dead zone of polymerizable liquid in contact with the build surface, and (ii) continuously maintaining a gradient of polymerization zone between the dead zone and the solid polymer and in contact with each thereof, the gradient of polymerization zone comprising the polymerizable liquid in partially cured form. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described.
摘要:
An imprint method including the steps of: an exposing step to irradiate a photo curing resin, coated on a large-area substrate, with a curing light while the light-transmitting imprint mold is pressed against the photo curing resin, an amount of the curing light applied onto the photo curing resin in a light shielding region provided with the light shielding member (5) made less than an amount of the curing light applied onto the photo curing resin in a light transmitting region of the mold so that a portion of the photo curing resin in the light shielding region is semi-cured by the use of the light shielding member (5) provided so as to reproduce the concave-convex pattern of the transparent substrate; a separating step to separate the mold from the photo curing resin after the exposing step; a moving step to move the mold so that an end of the light transmitting region of the mold is positioned on the semi-cured portion (9b) of the photo curing resin; and a repeating step to repeat the exposing step and the separating step with the mold positioned at a position after the moving step.
摘要:
An inkjet-based process for programmable deposition of thin films of a user-defined profile. Drops of a pre-cursor liquid organic material are dispensed at various locations on a substrate by a multi-jet. A superstrate that has been bowed due to a backside pressure is brought down such that a first contact of the drops is made by a front side of the superstrate thereby initiating a liquid front that spreads outward merging with the drops to form a contiguous film captured between the substrate and the superstrate. A non-equilibrium transient state of the superstrate, the contiguous film and the substrate then occurs after a duration of time. The contiguous film is then cured to crosslink it into a polymer. The superstrate is then separated from the polymer thereby leaving a polymer film on the substrate. In such a manner, non-uniform films can be formed without significant material wastage in an inexpensive manner.
