摘要:
A method and composition for forming investment casting patterns wherein thermally-collapsible microspheres are incorporated into the pattern composition. The patterns can be made either by conventional pattern forming techniques or by solid imaging techniques. After investing the microsphere containing pattern in the ceramic shell, the pattern and shell are heated, causing a collapse of the microspheres and thereby preventing cracking of the shell. The shell is then heated to burn-out the remaining pattern material and fire the shell, thereby creating a mold.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for fabricating integral three-dimensional objects from successive layers of photoformable compositions by exposing the layers of the composition through a detachable flexible transparent film, one side of the film being in contact with the composition and the other side of the film with a rigid transparent plate, which guides and supports the film.
摘要:
A method and apparatus, where high viscosity liquids, including pseudoplastic, plastic flow, and thixotropic liquids, as well as gels, semi-solid, and solid materials are viscosity reduced during coating and allowed to increase in viscosity during imaging steps, for use in Solid Imaging applications. Use of these materials and the apparatus improves coating uniformity and final object tolerances.

The invention is directed to a laminate for the preparation of a multilayer printed circuit by electroless plating of conductive metal thereon which comprisesa. a substrate having formed on a surface thereofb. a conductive pattern, and,c. overlying the pattern and surrounding substrate areas, a layer of tonable photodielectric material having partially embedded therein finely divided particles of adsorbent which protrude from the layer surface away from the substrate, the protrusive surfaces of which are adsorptive with respect to electroless plating catalysts or reductive precursors thereof.
摘要:
An improved peel apart photosensitive element comprises a strippable cover sheet, a photoadherent layer, and a tacky, nonphotosensitive contiguous layer receptive to colorant or particulate material, and a support. The element is useful in applications such as color proofing. Such elements are capable of producing reverse toned or colored images as well as duplicate colored images with greatly improved tonal range and image fidelity.

An integral three dimensional object is formed from a photohardenable liquid composition containing radiation deflecting matter which is a thermal insulator and having a different index of refraction from the liquid.
摘要:
Process for preparing multilayer printed circuits comprising laminating to a substrate bearing a circuit pattern or electrically conductive surface a photosensitive layer which is tacky or becomes tacky upon exposure; exposing the laminate to actinic radiation through a via image related to the underlying circuit pattern, if present; optionally removing the removable via image of the photosensitive layer in either the exposed or unexposed areas, e.g., with a solvent or peeling apart by removal of a cover sheet, if present; laminating to the remaining tacky photosensitive layer a layer of a second photosensitive composition; exposing the laminate to actinic radiation through a registered image pattern of at least one overlying segment of the via image area and conductive circuit pattern to form an image surface having nontacky areas and removable circuit image areas; removing the removable circuit image areas of the photosensitive layer in the exposed or unexposed areas with a solvent therefor, or peeling apart by means of a cover sheet, if present, the removable via image areas of the lower photosensitive, if present, are removed by a solvent therefor; embedding finely divided material, e.g., copper, into the tacky areas; optionally curing the laminate by means of actinic radiation and/or heat; plating electrolessly to form an interconnected electrically conductive circuit. Additional circuit layers can be added.
