  • Publication number: 20260145245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing micro parts and micro components by means of additive manufacturing using micro laser sintering. A pulverulent agglomerating material (1) is applied in layers from a first powder reservoir (2), and the material is melted using laser light (4) after being applied. The invention is characterized in that the material (1) located in the first powder reservoir (2), which is open in the direction of a processing plane, is an agglomerating powder, the particle size (1) of which equals maximally 20 ?m, and a force (F1) is applied to the agglomerating material (1) in the direction of a substrate (3) in a process region (100) at least during the application process, the agglomerating material (1) behaving as a fluid while being applied as a result of said force.

  • Patent number: 6602489
    Abstract: The compact hair spray product includes a pressure-tight and diffusion-proof container containing a hair spray concentrate and equipped with a fine-spray pump with a cylindrical region made of a material that resists swelling by organic solvents. The fine spray pump has a maximum pump lift of 0.12 mL and pilot pressure buildup. The hair spray concentrate has a viscosity that confers good sprayability and contains at least one hair-strengthening polymer, an alcoholic solvent for the hair-strengthening polymer, at least one organic solvent additive capable of reducing the viscosity of the concentrate and increasing the vapor pressure of the concentrate and optionally a drying-retarding solvent additive.
