Abstract
A method for manufacturing a deflection member is disclosed. The method may include the step of incorporating a monomer, a photoinitiator system, a photoinhibitor, and/or a reinforcing member. A further step includes blending the monomer, photoinitiator, and/or photoinhibitor to form a blended photopolymer resin. Further steps may be exposing the photopolymer resin to radiation form a first radiation source and/or a second radiation source.
Claims21
A method for manufacturing a deflection member, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. incorporating a monomer,
- b. incorporating a photoinitiator system;
- c. incorporating a photoinhibitor;
- d. incorporating a reinforcing member having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface;
- e. combining the monomer, photoinitiator system, and photoinhibitor to form a photopolymer resin;
- f. exposing the photopolymer resin to radiation from a first radiation source towards the first surface of the reinforcing member;
- g. exposing the photopolymer resin to radiation from a second radiation source towards the second surface of the reinforcing member;
- and
- h. polymerizing the monomer to form a protuberance extending from the reinforcing member.
