Abstract
A method to plastically deform a flexible conductive element (1) wherein is provided a device (11) configured to expand the volume thereof, wherein the method comprises the steps of arranging the flexible conductive element (1) at least partially around said device (11); expanding the volume of the device (11) up to a predetermined value, whereby at least one portion (8) of the flexible conductive element (1) which is in contact with the device (11) during the expansion of the device (11) is plastically deformed.
Claims22
A shaping method to plastically deform a flexible conductive element comprising at least one insulating layer and at least one conductive track fixed to the at least one insulating layer,
- wherein there is provided a device, having an outer surface destined to come in contact with the flexible conductive element, and configured to expand the volume thereof, wherein the method comprises the steps of
- a) arranging the flexible conductive element at least partially around said device,
- b) expanding the volume of the device up to a predetermined value, whereby at least one portion of the flexible conductive element which is in contact with the device during the expansion of the device is plastically deformed,
- c) separating the flexible conductive element from the device.
