METHOD FOR FORMING STRUCTURE SUITABLE FOR USE AS A CORE MEMBER

摘要

Core-type structures (10) are formed by extruding elongated tubular members (24) or sheets of a thermoplastic material that are subsequently cut into segments (30) or plates having a defined length and then assembled into a bundle (42). The bundle (42) is then simultaneously cut at a number of spaced-apart locations along the length of the bundled segments, or plates, whereby a plurality of separate core structures (10) are simultaneously formed.
