    摘要: Golf balls and golf ball components made using three-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing systems are provided. The golf ball includes at least one three-dimensional piece. Preferably, a continuous liquid interface printing method is used to make the three-dimensional structure. Ultraviolet (UV)-light polymerizable materials are used in the method. The method may be used to make single-piece or multi-piece balls. For example, the ball may include an inner core produced by the liquid interface printing method. An outer core layer may be disposed about the inner core, and a cover comprising inner and outer cover layers may encapsulate the core assembly to form the finished golf ball. The outer core and cover layers may be made using conventional molding technologies or the methods of this invention.

    摘要: A method of forming a golf ball comprising at least one layer consisting of at least one of a thermoset or thermoplastic composition comprising the steps of: providing a subassembly having at least one of an innermost surface or an outermost surface; providing at least one polymeric mixture Pc comprising a plurality of particles having a softening, melting and/or reacting temperature Mp; heating a fluid with a heat source that does not contact Pc to a temperature Mph wherein Mp≦Mph to form a heated fluid; softening, melting and/or reacting the plurality of particles by mixing each polymeric mixture Pc with at least one heated fluid and forming at least one heated mixture Pcs; and propelling each Pcs onto at least one of the innermost surface or the outermost surface to form a thermoset and/or thermoplastic layer Tmpl about the outermost surface which may be comprised of a heterogeneous composition. The thickness of Tmpl may be from about 3 mils to about 0.10 in.
