Abstract: Geschaffen werden ein Verfahren und ein System (100) zum thermischen Umformen eines Objektes (42). Es wird ein Formwerkzeug (32) bereitgestellt, dessen Form einer gewünschten Form des Objektes entspricht. Ein Material (10) wird in einen Erhitzungsbereich (18) eingeführt, und das Material (10) wird unter Verwendung von Wärmequellen (22i) erhitzt, die unabhängig gesteuert werden können und die verschiedene Bereiche (10a, 10b, 10c) des Materials erhitzen. Das erhitzte Material wird dann über oder in wenigstens einem Abschnitt des Formwerkzeugs (32) angeordnet, um das Material zu verformen. Das verformte Material kann dann beschnitten werden, um das Objekt (42) auszubilden.

Abstract: A method and system (100) for thermal forming an object (42). A mold (32) is provided, a shape of which corresponds to a desired shape of the object. A material (10) is inserted into a heating area (18), and the material (10) is heated using a plurality of independently controllable heat sources (22i) that heat different areas (10a, 10b, 10c) of the material. The heated material is then disposed over or into at least a portion of the mold (32) so as to deform the material. The deformed material may then be trimmed so as to form the object (42).

Abstract: Orthodontic systems and related methods are disclosed for designing and providing improved or more effective tooth moving systems for eliciting a desired tooth movement and/or repositioning teeth into a desired arrangement. Methods and orthodontic systems of the invention include tooth attachments having improved or optimized parameters selected or modified for more optimal and/or effective application of forces for a desired/selected orthodontic movement. Attachments of the present invention can be customized to a particular patient (e.g., patient-customized), a particular movement, and/or a sub-group or sub-set of patients, and configured to engage an orthodontic tooth positioning appliance worn by a patient, where engagement between the attachment and orthodontic appliance results in application of a repositioning force or series/system of forces to the tooth having the attachment and will generally elicit a tooth movement.
