Machine for casting radiation cured material and process for making same

摘要

A machine for casting radiation cured material with a mold set made of a clear, radiation cured material or other clear material, one or more radiation emitting devices preferably in the ultraviolet and visible range, a rotating mechanism to move the mold set from a horizontal or vertical load/unload position to vertical fill and cure position at the radiation devices, and one or more injection mechanisms attached to the mold set to fill the mold set and then seal at the part wall preventing cure of material in the line and resulting in a minimal gate mark. Alternatively the molds can be filled and then rotated before and during cure to create a hollow part.
