    Publication number: 20160257843
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, processes, and systems for the manufacture of three-dimensional articles made of polymers using 3D printing. A layer of prepolymer is deposited on a build plate to form a powder bed. The deposited powder bed is heated to about 50° C. to about 170° C. Then, a solution of activating agent is printed on the powder bed in a predetermined pattern, and a stimulus is applied converting the prepolymer to the final polymer. After a predetermined period of time, sequential layers are printed to provide the three-dimensional article. The three-dimensional object can be cured to produce the three-dimensional article composed of the final polymers.

  • METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TELESCOPIC SHAFT
    Publication number: 20160257850
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a telescopic shaft including a male shaft and a cylindrical female shaft slidably connected to each other in an axial direction, in which an outer circumferential surface of the male shaft or an inner circumferential surface of the female shaft is coated with a resin coating layer, includes a coating step, a broaching step, and a cooling step. In the coating step, a powder coating material is attached, by a fluid bed dip method, on the outer circumferential surface of the male shaft or the inner circumferential surface of the female shaft which is heated in advance and the resin coating layer is formed. In the broaching step, the resin coating layer is caused to be thin by broaching before cooling of the formed powder coating material is completed. In the cooling step, the thin resin coating layer is cooled.
