Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating a surface of a molded part produced according to a 3D printing method using a plastics material, wherein a solvent selected from the group consisting of halogen-free and non-polar hydrocarbons and derivatives thereof and/or a solvent selected from the group consisting of bio-based solvents is applied to the surface of the molded part. The invention also relates to a device for treating a surface according to the method according to the invention.

Abstract: Described are devices for tethering biological materials, which in applicable embodiments support the growth and differentiation thereof. In a specific embodiment, the biological materials are cells and the cells grow/differentiate into tethered three-dimensional aggregates. The devices disclosed herein may be used in various methods/assays relating to tethered biological materials, such as to tethered three-dimensional aggregates of cells.

Abstract: A method is provided for surface smoothing an additively manufactured shaped part consisting of plastic. The method has an explosion step with which the surface of the shaped part is smoothed in a process chamber by igniting a combustible process gas introduced into the process chamber, the surface of the shaped part being partly dissolved in at least some sections by the ignited process gas. Also provided is a device for surface smoothing additively manufactured shaped parts consisting of plastic.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating a surface of a molded part, produced in a 3D printing method, with a surface treatment means, wherein holding means are arranged on the molded part which enable a treatment of the surface in a treatment chamber, without the surface making contact with the walls of the treatment chamber. A corresponding method for producing a molded part in a 3D printing method is also provided, as well as the corresponding dataset for controlling a 3D printer, and a computer program product which determines a number of holding means on the basis of the geometry data of the molded part.

Abstract: A method is provided for treating a surface of a molded part produced in a 3D printing method. In the method, the molded part is introduced into a pressure-tight container (20), negative pressure, preferably a vacuum to a large extent, is generated in the container after introducing the molded part, a solvent is heated up to a specified solvent temperature, and the heated solvent is introduced from a solvent container (40) into the container under negative pressure. In such a method, the temperature of the molded part is lower than the solvent temperature, and the solvent is evaporated or is introduced as a vapor upon being introduced, the solvent vapor condensing on the surface of the molded part. Also provided is a device for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A device and method is provided for treating surfaces, in particular for colouring moulded parts, said device comprising a container for receiving moulded parts and a first cover. The container can be closed, preferably, by using the first cover. A system is also provided for introducing liquid and/or powdery surface treatment agents into an inner chamber of the closed container. The system comprises a capsule in which the surface treatment agents which are to be introduced are accommodated.

Abstract: A cable guide arrangement for use in a luggage bin, in particular an aircraft luggage bin, comprises a shaft bearing element and a shaft element rotatably mounted in the shaft bearing element and through which there passes an opening extending along a central axis of the shaft element. The cable guide arrangement further comprises at least one cable guide element connected to the shaft bearing element or to the shaft element and comprising a first and a second guide portion. The first guide portion is configured to deflect a cable, extending in the radial direction with respect to the central axis of the shaft element, with a defined bending radius in the direction of the central axis of the shaft element. The second guide portion is configured to guide the cable parallel to the central axis of the shaft element through the opening extending through the shaft element.
