Abstract
A method for manufacturing parts from an antiadhesive organic powder includes the step of plasma-treating the antiadhesive organic powder and processing the antiadhesive organic powder for forming the parts. The device for performing the method has a housing with a receiving chamber that has at least one inlet for introducing a process gas. A rotary drum is rotatably mounted in the receiving chamber for supporting the antiadhesive organic powder. At least one electrode is mounted in the receiving chamber and at least one energy source is connected to the electrode for energizing the electrode. The process gas can be exposed to high frequency radiation or microwave radiation in order to produce a plasma.
Claims25
A method for manufacturing parts from an antiadhesive organic powder comprising individual powder particles, said method comprising the steps of:
- plasma-treating the antiadhesive organic powder in a turbulent flow with intensive mixing of the antiadhesive organic powder during plasma-treating as needed to ensure homogenous activation, wherein said plasma-treating produces plasma etching within a micro-range of the surface area of said Individual powder particles imparting properties allowing a fixed bonding of the individual powder particles for forming the parts;
- and
- processing the antiadhesive organic powder to form the parts.
A part comprising an antiadhesive organic powder, said part manufactured by plasma-treating said antiadhesive organic powder in a turbulent flow with intensive mixing of the antiadhesive organic powder during plasma-treating as needed to ensure homogenous activation, wherein said plasma-treating produces plasma etching within a micro-range of the surface area of said individual powder particles imparting properties allowing a fixed bonding of the individual powder particles for forming the parts and processing the antiadhesive organic powder to form said part.
