Method of manufacturing a part out of reinforced plastics material

摘要

The invention provides a method of manufacturing a reinforced plastics material part from a drapable sheet (6) by means of a mold (1) comprising a first portion (2) and a second portion (3) that are movable relative to each other. The method comprises the following steps:placing the sheet on the first portion (2) of the open mold;pressing the sheet (6) against said first portion (2) at one or more locations by means of one or more pushers (8) mounted on the second portion (3) of the mold and movable relative to said second portion;closing the mold (1) and compacting the sheet (6); andtrimming the portion of the sheet that projects from the join plane (15) after the mold (1) has been closed, and unmolding the part.
