The invention relates to a moulding device (1) for the conversion of a material (40), comprising: - a lower mould body (10), or die, made from an electrically conductive material and comprising a moulding zone (14) intended to be in contact with the material to be converted; an upper mould body (12), or punch, made from an electrically conductive material and comprising a moulding zone (16) intended to be in contact with the material to be converted; a removable intermediate part (18), or core, made from an electrically conductive material and intended to be inserted between the die (10) and the punch (12); induction means (30) capable of generating a magnetic field that surrounds the die (10), the punch (12) and the intermediate part (18); these three components being electrically insulated in pairs, so that the opposite faces of the intermediate part (18) and of the die (10) on the one hand and of the intermediate part (18) and of the punch (12) on the other hand, delimit two air gaps (20, 22) in which the magnetic field flows which induces currents at the surface of the moulding zones (14, 16) of the die (10) and of the punch (12), thus making it possible to localize the action of the inductors at the surface of the moulding zones (14, 16). |
