20080292741 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MASS CUSTOMIZED MANUFACTURING - Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for manufacturing dental aligners. The system includes a workpiece introduction system having at least one workpiece preparation chamber. The system further has a mold manipulation system, having a mold introduction chamber, where a series of different molds may be introduced one after the other; a mold preparation chamber; a workpiece operation chamber; and a mold manipulator to move the mold between the mold introduction chamber, the mold preparation chamber, and the workpiece operation chamber; and a workpiece manipulator to move the workpiece between the workpiece preparation chamber and the workpiece operation chamber. In operation, the method includes steps of inserting a first workpiece into a workpiece preparation chamber; preparing the first workpiece for processing by subjecting the first workpiece to at least one preparation process; moving the first workpiece into a workpiece operation chamber; moving a first mold into a mold preparation chamber; preparing the first mold for processing by subjecting the first mold to at least one preparation process; moving the first mold into the workpiece operation chamber; moving the first mold and the first workpiece into cooperative engagement; subjecting the first workpiece to a vacuum on the side of the first workpiece facing the first mold; and repeating the above steps for a second workpiece and a second different mold. | 11-27-2008 |

20110059199 | MOLD FOR BLOCKS WIH MOVABLE CAVITY WALLS - A mold for cementitious blocks comprises a main body having at least one pair of spaced apart lateral walls with at least one pair of spaced apart divider walls extending therebetween. The lateral walls and divider walls define a cavity therebetween for receiving cementious material to be compacted into a block. The cavity includes open top and bottom faces. At least one of the spaced apart lateral walls is movable inwardly into the cavity. A vertically movable actuator element acts on this movable lateral wall. This actuator extends outwardly of the main body such that when it is moved inwardly it so acts on the movable wall as to move it inwardly into the cavity thereby providing a cementitious block with a sloped lateral side. | 03-10-2011 |
