  • Publication number: 20230398731
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a deflection member is disclosed. The method may include the steps of: providing an additive manufacturing apparatus that comprises at least one radiation source and a vat comprising a photopolymer resin, providing a reinforcing member comprising a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface, contacting at least the second surface of the reinforcing member with the photopolymer resin, and directing radiation from a first radiation source and a second radiation source toward the first surface of the reinforcing member.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11820071
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a deflection member is disclosed. The method may include the step of incorporating a monomer, a photoinitiator system, a photoinhibitor, and/or a reinforcing member. A further step includes blending the monomer, photoinitiator, and/or photoinhibitor to form a blended photopolymer resin. Further steps may be exposing the photopolymer resin to radiation form a first radiation source and/or a second radiation source.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11590694
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a deflection member is disclosed. The method may include the step of incorporating a monomer, a photoinitiator system, a photoinhibitor, and/or a reinforcing member. A further step includes blending the monomer, photoinitiator, and/or photoinhibitor to form a blended photopolymer resin. Further steps may be emitting a first wavelength and emitting a second wavelength. A further step may be polymerizing the monomer to form a resinous framework comprising protuberance locked-on to the reinforcing member.
