Extrusion method and apparatus in which the liquid precursor of the extruded material is forced through a die formed by two surfaces moving in opposite directions relative to one another and transversely to the direction of material flow. Immediately upon exiting this dynamic die, the extracted material is removed as a sheet or film through a take-off system. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first die is formed by members rotating on a common axis in opposite rotational directions.

Apparatus for extruding materials that exhibit anisotropic properties

A method is provided for forming one or more electrical conductors in a multilayer structure such as a computer component during a punching operation. A conducting sheet is placed in direct contact with a sheet of a deformable dielectric material. A punch is used to form a conducting slug from the sheet and to simultaneously transfer the slug into the dielectric material. During the transfer operation, a portion of the dielectric material is displaced so as to cause a mechanical interference between the slug and dielectric material.
