Abstract
A dual density molded member, a dual density molded tooling, and a method of forming the dual density molded member, the dual density molded member including an outer shell comprising a self-skinning polyurethane foam, and a core comprising a urethane foam, the self-skinning polyurethane foam being higher in density than the urethane foam
Claims3
A dual density molded member including an outer shell comprising a self-skinning polyurethane foam, and a core comprising a urethane foam, the self-skinning polyurethane foam being higher in density than the urethane foam.
A dual density molded tooling including a base block having a contoured inside surface, a base-side cap coupled to the base block to form a first inner cavity, and a foam core substrate to be disposed within the first inner cavity, the foam core substrate forming a second inner cavity within a dual density molded member, the dual density molded member including an outer shell comprising a self-skinning polyurethane foam, and a core comprising a urethane foam, the self-skinning polyurethane foam being higher in density than the urethane foam.
A method of forming a dual density molded member including an outer shell comprising a self-skinning polyurethane foam, and a core comprising a urethane foam, the self-skinning polyurethane foam being higher in density than the urethane foam, the method comprising coupling a base block having a contoured inside surface to a base-side cap coupled to form a first inner cavity, disposing a foam core substrate within the first inner cavity to form a second inner cavity within the dual density molded member.
