The method comprises the steps of a) forming a carcass composed of a cured rubber material and b) overmolding, on the carcass, at least one thermoplastic elastomer material in order to finish the pneumatic tire.

Method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire with an improved tread

The method includes the step of forming a carcass from at least one first material based on a thermoplastic elastomer. The method continues with the step of forming, on the carcass, at least bead zone from at least one second material based on a thermoplastic elastomer to form an assembly. The method proceeds with the step of forming, on the assembly an additional part from at least one third material based on a thermoplastic elastomer.

Method for manufacturing an improved pneumatic tire

A device and corresponding method for depositing a powder bed on a surface () is provided. The device comprises a deposition module () configured in order to scan the surface while delivering the powder onto the surface. The deposition module has at least one electromagnetic-response probe () capable of analysing a delivered portion () of the powder bed. The invention finds an application in sintering or selective laser melting machines.

Device for depositing a bed of powder on a surface, said device being provided with an electromagnetic-response probe, and corresponding method

The invention relates in particular to a machine () for additive manufacturing by the sintering or melting of powder () using an energy beam () acting on a powder layer () in a working zone (), said machine comprising a device for producing a layer of said powder, said device comprising:

Machine and process for powder-based additive manufacturing

The machine is of the type which uses an energy beam which acts on a powder layer in a working zone. The machine has a device for layering said powder and which includes a means for storing powder, a means for distributing powder, a feeding means that transfers powder from the storage means to the distributing means, and a metering means that controls the quantity of powder transferred from storage means to distributing means. The storage means is positioned higher than the working zone, the feeding means utilizes gravity, and in use, the feeding means and the metering means move with the distributing means. The machine has two separate working zones and two separate working trays that move independently of one another. Each of the working trays is associated with only one working zone, and the layering device is common to both working zones.

Machine and method for powder-based additive manufacturing

A tire is disclosed that includes at least one annular bead wire forming a body of revolution about a reference axis. A carcass ply of generally toroidal shape about the same axis as the bead wire has a portion that is folded around the wire. A materials interface is defined at least in part by the junction between a rubber first mass and a second mass that includes an electronic member. By way of example, the electronic member is a passive radiofrequency identification transponder. The interface extends from a free edge of the folded portion of the carcass ply radially away from the reference axis to a circumferential junction line between the interface and the carcass ply.

Tire including an electronic member

A method for manufacturing at least one member comprising at least one rubber-coated electronic component, in which the component is placed in contact with a first strip of rubber and it is covered by a second strip of rubber so as to coat the component.
