The invention concerns a device for producing plates made of metal, plastic or metallo-plastic composite material, whether they are non-exclusively thermofusible, thermoplastic or thermosetting designed more particularly to be machined with a machining tool in a fast prototyping process. The invention is characterised in that it consists of a plate mould integrated in the prototyping machine, said mould being adapted to receive a material matching the shape of the mould after being subjected to a heating/cooing cycle with heating/cooling means integrated in the mould body. It essentially comprises: a vat (2); a base plate (3); a heating circuit (4); a fluid circulation circuit (5).
A device for producing plates made of metal, plastic or metallo-plastic composite, whether they be, nonlimitingly, of thermofusible, thermoplastic or thermosetting type, intended more particularly to be machined by a machine tool in the context of a rapid prototyping process, characterized in that it consists of a plate mold incorporated into the prototyping machine, said mold being able to receive a material that hugs the shape of the mold having been subjected to a heating/cooling cycle by a heating/cooling means incorporated into the body of the mold.
