Abstract: A zoning closed-die extruding device comprises a closed female die and a male die. which is disposed in a longitudinal direction and configured to be mated with a closed cavity of the closed female die to extrude a blank. The male die comprises an extruding shaft portion and a stamp-extruding head portion, which is connected with the extruding shaft portion and disposed below the extruding shaft portion. A cross-sectional area of the stamp-extruding head portion perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the closed female die is smaller than that of the extruding shaft portion perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the closed female die. The male die is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the closed female die so that the blank is sequentially and zonally deformed by the stamp-extruding head portion inside the closed cavity of the closed female die.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rapid prototyping technology and advances a new forming process of extrusion and jetting without thermal liquefaction. The present invention greatly simplifies the forming system, improves the quality and reduces the cost, protects many special materials, especially the dear nature of bioactive materials to adapt to making the tissue engineering scaffold in bioengineering.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming three-dimensional patterns by depositing a crystalloid material onto substrate in a layer by layer fashion. The apparatus includes a computer responsive for controlling the material depositing rate and the three-dimensional relative movement between the depositing head and the substrate. The controlling information comes from the sliced CAD model of the part. For each cross-section, the depositing head plots the boundary and the interior while the building material comes out of the head. The crystalloid material deposited on the substrate or previous layer of the part rapidly freezes forming a new layer of the part. The material can be deposited by a continuous extruding device or a drop-on-demand device. Where necessary, support structure is built in the same way but with material of a different melting point.
