METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING PRODUCTS

摘要

A method for manufacturing products using a mold having at least one mold cavity which is at least partly defined by at least two movable wall parts, wherein the mold is closed and the at least two movable wall parts are brought to a retracted position relative to the mold cavity, so that the volume of the mold cavity is enlarged relative to the volume required for a product to be formed, wherein at least partly molten material is introduced into the mold cavity and then in a first step a first one of the at least two movable wall parts is set into motion in the direction of a forwardly moved position and in a second step a second one of the at least two movable wall parts is set into motion in the direction of a forwardly moved position, wherein the movable wall parts are moved into said forwardly moved position for the formation of the product.
