METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING A THIN-WALLED ARTICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a thin-walled article, wherein a single- or multi-component, essentially polymer-based material ( 1 ), such as plastics, elastomers, and/or the like, is sprayed in an elecrical field (E) in an electrically charged state. The thin-walled article is manufactured in the electrical field (E) by spraying (II) an electrically charged material into the contact with a mould ( 2 ) set at an electric potential, after which spraying cycle (II) the article is, at least in terms of its appearance, immediately a finished product after its demoulding/releasing from the mould ( 2 ). The invention relates also to an apparatus operating in accordance with the method.
