An inorganic binder and a dissolving agent are put into ceramic powder. They are mixed to form a plastic green mixture. Then the said mixture is formed into a thin green layer. Preferably, this thin green layer will be preheated and dried such that the thin green layer will be hardened due to the bonding effect of the inorganic binder. A portion of the thin green layer exposed under a directed high-energy beam is sintered, preferably by a laser beam, to cause ceramic molecules to bond together locally due to heat fusion. By controlling the scanning path of the high-energy beam, a two-dimensional thin cross section of the ceramic part in arbitrary form can be produced. A second thin ceramic layer can be built onto the first thin ceramic layer and bonded to it by the same method. After multiple repetitions of this procedure a three dimensional ceramic part can be fabricated layer upon layer. The green portion, which is not scanned by the high-energy beam, will be removed with suitable method. A ceramic part can be rapidly produced in this way.

Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularly containers and packaging materials, having a highly inorganically filled matrix. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together an organic polymer binder, water, one or more aggregate materials, fibers, and optional admixtures in the correct proportions in order to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures are molded to fashion a portion of the mixture into a form stable shape for the desired article. Once the article has obtained form stability, such as by heating to remove water by evaporation, the article is removed from the mold and allowed to harden to gain strength. The articles may have properties substantially similar to articles presently made from traditional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or metal. They have especial utility in the mass production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers.

A transporting apparatus of the present invention comprises a storage unit for temporarily storing a wet mixture and a transporting unit equipped with a conveyor for transporting the wet mixture.

A vertical shear wall system including vertical metal framing members, for example, C-joists, U-joists, open web joists, or other metal frame systems that support a reinforced, lightweight, dimensionally stable SCP panel. The shear wall system is non-combustible, water durable, mold and rot resistant, termite resistant and is capable of resisting shear loads equal to or exceeding shear loads provided by plywood or oriented strand board panels. The panels employ one or more layers of a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of inorganic binder, for example, calcium sulfate alpha hemihydrate, hydraulic cement, an active pozzolan and lime. The continuous phase is reinforced with glass fibers and contains lightweight filler particles, for example, ceramic microspheres.

A mold used for manufacturing an inorganic board and a method of manufacturing an inorganic board by employing said mold are provided in the present invention. Said mold consists of a mold part made of a fiber reinforced plastic and a metal part attached to the back of said mold part, and because of said metal part, the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between said mold and an inorganic board manufactured on said mold is small.

Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularly containers and packaging materials, having a fiber-reinforced, starch-bound cellular matrix. Suitable mixtures used to form the articles are prepared by first preparing a viscous preblended mixture comprising water, a gelatinized starch-based binder, and fibers having an average length greater than about 2 mm. The highly viscous preblended mixture effectively transfers the shearing forces of the mixer to the fibers. The final moldable mixture is then prepared by mixing into the preblended mixture the remaining starch-based binder, water, and other desired admixtures, e.g., mold-releasing agents, inorganic filler rheology-modifying agents, plasticizers, coating materials, and dispersants, in the correct proportions to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The moldable mixtures are heated between molds at an elevated temperature and pressure to produce form-stable articles having a desired shape and a selectively controlled foamed structural matrix. The articles may be manufactured to have properties substantially similar to articles presently made from conventional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or other organic-based materials and have especial utility in the mass-production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers.

The material distributing method for ceramic tile is one back side forming process including first distributing powder material and then distributing base material. Fine powder, granular material and their mixture are loaded one layer by one layer onto the conveying belt, added into specially designed lattice via bin to complete the first material distribution; and the base material then falls from the movable bin to fill the mold cavity to complete the second material distribution. During the twice material distribution, the lattice is filled with the fine powder or the mixture of fine powder and the granular material. The present invention has the features of multiple tube material distribution and lattice material distribution, and can form natural and fluent patterns and grains similar to that of natural stone material. The present invention has raised material distribution speed and the back side formation process has no influence on the surface pattern of the returned lattice.

The process and composition permit the mass production of blocks having independent top topographies that emulate the surfaces of original cobblestones and with a comparable strength.

A stone work simulation system including panels formed from a cementitious material. The panels of the system can be cast or injection molded from cementitious slurry, including hydraulic cement, or gypsum cement and an optional latex/water mixture. A desired amount of the slurry is added to the mold, the surface of which includes several spaced apart depressions formed therein to closely resemble a pattern of stones at least partially disposed in a mortar matrix. Optionally, the mold can include a number of flat spaces formed between the depressions. Optionally, a reinforcing mesh is also provided in the mold. A colorant can be disposed on the bottom mold surface prior to the introduction of the mesh and the slurry to impart a color pattern to the system. After sufficient curing, the panel is removed from the mold and is ready for immediate use and/or further processing, such as additional surface coloring. In use, the system can be mounted to a building surface, such as a wall, e.g., with a mechanical fastener, adhesive, mortar, cement, and/or the like. To provide distinctiveness to the system, a plurality of individual simulated stones (e.g., that have been formed separately or as a separable unit, e.g., according to the process above) that are sized, shaped, and colored similarly to or differently from the system, can be incorporated onto the flat spaces formed on the system to form a unique finished product and avoid the appearance of the installed system being an arrangement of individual panel units.
