A method of producing a structure from curable material by molding includes arranging a molding tool above a surface, so that in a region between the molding tool and the surface, the curable material adjoins the surface and a molding face of the molding tool which faces the surface, and so that additional curable material may continue to flow into the region. The method further includes irradiating the curable material in the region in a locally varying manner, so that the curable material cures at different speeds in a laterally varying manner and that shrinkages occurring during curing of the curable material are compensated for by the additional curable material. The method further includes applying a constant pressure to the additional curable material. Moreover, a second method and an apparatus for producing a structure from curable material by molding and a molding tool for an optical component are described.

In the present invention, the production of the masking member can be started early, and the mold for the masking member, being highly accurate, can be manufactured in a short period of time, moreover the effects of said thermal, contraction of the molded masking member can be modified precisely and easily in a short period of time, further shortening the production time of said masking member. To obtain such object, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a masking member (1) made of a thermoplastic resin, including; the preparation of mold using the CAD data relating to the design of the part (2) which is subject to masking, and the preparation of a thermoplastic resin mold with which to form a specific masking member to protect the area. Said masking member (1) is manufactured by vacuum and/or pressure forming a thermoplastic resin sheet, after which it is trimmed by a robot operated using the trimming position data obtained from the CAD data.
摘要:
A stereolithographic method and apparatus for forming polymeric structures comprising a plurality of overlying layers, each layer formed by polymerizing a thin layer of liquid photopolymer on a prior layer. Crevices formed at the layer interfaces are filled by a stereolithographic method comprising lifting the multilayered structure from the liquid photopolymer, draining excess liquid therefrom, tilting the structure to provide an acute angle of incidence between an incident radiation beam and a side wall of the object, and applying radiation to the crevice to polymerize at least the surface of a quantity of liquid photopolymer therein. The structure may then be subjected to a separate final full cure to fully harden the structure. An exemplary use is the packaging of electronic components and the like.
摘要:
A method is provided for producing dimensionally stable rotationally molded parts from semi-crystalline materials. A test mold is constructed having dimensions closely approximating the desired dimensions of the final part. A test part is then molded in the test mold using conventional rotational molding techniques. After the test part has partially cooled, it is removed from the mold, allowed to cool to ambient temperature, measured and annealed in an oven. During annealing, the part is heated to the crystallization temperature, midway between the glass transition temperature and the crystalline melting temperature. After annealing, the part is allowed to cool to ambient temperature and measured again. The post annealing dimensions are then compared with the dimensions determined before annealing to determine the amount of shrinkage. A production mold is then constructed to take into account the amount of shrinkage calculated. Production parts may then be molded in the production mold and annealed at the crystallization temperature to attain parts having a small dimensional tolerance and high tensile strength.
