    摘要: A ceramic tape is provided in its green state so that it is malleable and formable to a mold for forming a dental restoration, but will not break or crack as it is applied to the mold. Pressure may be applied to further form or adapt the ceramic tape to the shape of the mold. Heat is applied simultaneously with pressure or in a separate step to achieve high density and strength in the ceramic material. A vacuum atmosphere may be used with the application of pressure and/or heat. One or more layers of surface material such as porcelain or composite resin may be applied to the ceramic to form the dental restoration. The process is useful in the manufacture of dental materials or restorations including but not limited to orthodontic appliances, bridges, space maintainers, tooth replacement appliances, splints, crowns, partial crowns, dentures, posts; teeth, jackets, inlays, onlays, facing, veneers, facets, implants, abutments, cylinders, and connectors. Also provided is a ceramic powder in combination with one or more media materials to form a homogeneous mixture. The mixture may then be used to form a dental restoration as is or may be used to form feedstock such as filaments or wires which are then used to fabricate a dental restoration. The filaments or wires may be used in a fused deposition-modeling machine to build dental restorative materials by computer aided design software.

    摘要: Disclosed is a modeling technique wherein a three-dimensional model and its support structure are built by fused deposition modeling, using a thermoplastic blended material containing a polyphenylsulfone (PPSF) polymer and a polycarbonate (PC) polymer to form the model. The PPSF/PC blend exhibits good chemical resistance, thermal stability, and resists build-up in the nozzle of a three-dimensional modeling apparatus. Removal of the support structure from a completed model is facilitated by operating on the material while it is hot.

    摘要: A ventilation and cooling system for a selective deposition modeling apparatus dispensing a curable material. The ventilation and cooling system captures airborne contaminants in the apparatus making the apparatus suitable for use in an office environment. A pressure drop is established within the apparatus to assure that all air that enters the apparatus passes through a filter which captures the airborne contaminants before the air is expelled from the apparatus. Sensors are provided to assure that the ventilation and cooling system is function properly, and if not, the apparatus is either shut down or a signal is provided to the operator indicating that the system is not functioning properly.

    摘要: A maskless stereo lithography method and apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object from a plurality of adhered laminae by exposing successive layers of a photo-curable material to a micro-focused energy beam generated by an array of Fresnel zone plates. The method includes the steps of (A) providing a controllable array of Fresnel zone plates; (B) forming a layer of material adjacent to any last formed layer of material in preparation for forming a subsequent lamina of the object; (C) exposing the material to the micro-focused energy beam to form the subsequent lamina of the object; and (D) repeating the steps of forming and exposing a plurality of times in order to form the object from a plurality of adhered laminae, wherein the array of Fresnel zone plates are employed to focus parallel beamlets of energy beam from a source so that the beamlets converge to an array of focal points at predetermined positions of a lamina in accordance with a computer-aided design file of the object.

    摘要: A hexagonal telescopic column (6) for a lipstick (2) is produced using a mould (30) having opposed mould parts (32,34) including formations (38,40,42,44) which, with formations provided on the core (36), define a number of spaced apart cavities for forming the sections (46,48,50,52) of the telescopic column (6). The mould parts (32,34) are closed around the core (36) and a molten plastics material injected into the mould. The mould parts (32,34) are then opened leaving the column sections (46,48,50,52) exposed on the core (36). While the plastics material is still warm, the core (36) is retracted through a base plate (54) of the mould (30), pulling the column sections (46,48,50,52) towards the base plate (54) to collapse the sections together. The collapsed column is then removed from the mould (30) for assembly into a lipstick.
