Abstract
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a flexible three-dimensional structure, characterised in that it includes the following steps: preparing a temporary mould defined by a peripheral surface; positioning a support structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of the temporary mould; decomposing the temporary mould; and extracting the decomposed temporary mould.
Claims15
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flexible structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a temporary mold defined by a peripheral surface, the temporary mold being made of a heat-decomposable material;
- positioning:
- structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold;
- decomposing said temporary mold by contacting the temporary mold with a source of heat;
- extracting said decomposed temporary mold;
- and
- obtaining the three-dimensional flexible structure using the extracted decomposed temporary mold.
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flexible structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a temporary mold defined by a peripheral surface;
- positioning a support structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold by coating a flexible polymerizable material in one or more layers on at least part of the peripheral surface of the temporary mold;
- decomposing said temporary mold;
- extracting said decomposed temporary mold;
- and
- obtaining the three-dimensional flexible structure using the extracted decomposed temporary mold.
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flexible structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a temporary mold defined by a peripheral surface;
- positioning a support structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold by braiding or weaving one or more threadlike organs on at least part of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold;
- decomposing said temporary mold;
- extracting said decomposed temporary mold;
- and
- obtaining the three-dimensional flexible structure using the extracted decomposed temporary mold.
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flexible structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a temporary mold defined by a peripheral surface;
- positioning a support structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold by assembling different patterns of fabric, coated or not;
- decomposing said temporary mold;
- extracting said decomposed temporary mold;
- and
- obtaining the three-dimensional flexible structure using the extracted decomposed temporary mold.
A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional flexible structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a temporary mold defined by a peripheral surface;
- positioning a support structure on at least one portion of the peripheral surface of said temporary mold;
- positioning a tight peripheral lining about the peripheral surface of said temporary mold;
- delimiting an internal volume intended to be filled with a pressurized filling fluid, to obtain an inflatable structure;
- decomposing said temporary mold;
- extracting said decomposed temporary mold;
- and
- obtaining the three-dimensional flexible structure using the extracted decomposed temporary mold.
