Abstract
A method for producing a component including a plurality of hollow complex elements, includes: filling a plurality of molding cavities with a thermoplastic material, the mold being maintained at a first temperature, applying a hold pressure to the thermoplastic material while the mold is cooled to a second temperature, and interrupting the hold pressure on the thermoplastic material while the mold is cooled to a third temperature.
Claims9
A method for producing a component comprising a plurality of complex hollow elements, each having a shape tapering gradually between a base and an apex, the complex hollow elements being connected to one another by one or more adjacent edges, the method comprising:
- filling, by a thermoplastic material, of a plurality of moulding cavities having a shape corresponding to the shape of the complex hollow elements of the component to be produced, the mould being held at a first temperature greater than the setting temperature of the thermoplastic material, then
- applying a holding pressure on the thermoplastic material while the mould;
- is cooled until reaching a second temperature,
- interrupting the holding pressure on the thermoplastic material while the mould is cooled until reaching a third temperature, and
- removing a complex multielement component comprising a plurality of complex hollow elements from the mould.
