METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING AN ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE AND AN ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE MADE BY A NEW AND NOVEL PROCESS

摘要

A method (10) to selectively produce an article of manufacture (20) havingdesirable properties and which may replace many ~ceramic based~ articles.Particularly, the article of manufacture (20) is made by selectively combiningan epoxy structural foam material (110) with a catalyst (111) and a dryingagent (200). The mixed material is then selectively dispensed within a mold(16) and allowed to harden in order to form the article of manufacture (20).Alternated formulations may be utilized.
