Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining the internal structure (30) of an artificial tooth (24). The method comprises obtaining external shell data which describe an external shell (28) of the artificial tooth (24). First reference-geometry information is also defined or obtained. This information describes a first reference geometry (BI) which divides the outer shell (28) of the artificial tooth (24) virtually into a first shell portion (28a) and a second shell portion (28b). In addition, a first compressive-strain shell (32) is generated by virtual compressive strain on the first shell portion (28a) in one direction with respect to the first reference geometry (BI). At least one subvolume (34, 36) of the artificial tooth (24) is also derived, which subvolume is delimited by the first compressive-strain shell (32). The invention also relates to a method for producing an artificial tooth (24) having a predetermined outer shell (28). The invention also relates to an artificial tooth (24), to a data-processing device, to a computer program, and to a computer-readable medium.

The sensor detects at least a pressure, position and/or motion parameter of the pressing punch (36). The pressing punch (36) acts on the bulk material of glass particles (32)—possibly via an interposed ram (28)—, said glass particles being guided and crystallizable in a press channel (30).

Abstract

A material for use as support material for energy-pulse-induced transfer printing, which contains (a) at least one energy transformation component, (b) at least one volume expansion component and (c) at least one binder and which has a viscosity at 25° C. of from 0.2 Pas to 1000 Pas and a surface tension at 25° C. of from 20 to 150 mN/m. The invention furthermore relates to a process for producing three-dimensional objects using the support material.
