Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions, articles, and methods related to altering electromagnetic radiation. An actinic radiation curable precursor composition of a three-dimensional article includes a) a resin comprising an actinic radiation curable component, wherein the resin has a viscosity no greater than 500 cP; b) hollow glass microspheres having a density no greater than 2 g/mL and an average diameter no greater than 200 micrometers; and c) a photoinitiator. At least part of the surface of the hollow glass microspheres comprises a surface coating or modification. An article includes a photo(co)polymerization reaction product of the composition. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensional article includes the steps of a) providing an actinic radiation curable precursor composition; and b) selectively exposing a portion of the composition to a source of actinic radiation to at least partially cure the exposed portion of the composition, thereby forming a cured layer.

Abstract: An adjustable cardboard core cutter for precisely cutting cardboard tubes used as cores in steel slitting operations. The core cutter includes an axially fixed main shaft fixed core support plate, and an axially shiftable core support plate. Cores to be cut are clamped to the shiftable plate which axially shifts in response to preset instructions. An axially fixed cutter serves to cut the core into precise widths.
