Abstract
A method for manufacturing a product, such a disposable cutlery, manufactured of a fibre material, includes feeding fibrous material as a material flow, binding the fibres into a coherent profile, and molding the cross-sectional profile of the profile into a blank with a desired cross-sectional profile using at least one roller pair or drum pair. The method further includes cutting products of the desired shape from the molded blank by aligning a cutting geometry of the products at the desired place on the blank.
