A process for manufacturing an undergarment having two superimposed textiles, comprising depositing on certain parts of reinforcements (8) comprising a thick layer of a shaped memory foam elastic material, the polymerization of this material and also the shaping of the textiles of the undergarment by thermoforming, characterized in that it comprises a step of depositing, on the entire surface of at least the textiles, a thin layer of an elastic adhesive-bonding material, and then a step of polymerizing this thin layer of adhesive bonding during the thermoforming for shaping, and in that it comprises a step of prior depositing, on the textile receiving the layer of reinforcement (8), of a barrier layer of an elastic material, which is polymerized before the depositing of this reinforcement.

A method of thermoforming a printed two-dimensional (“2D”) image over a three dimensional (“3D”) model that is not distorted when applied to the model and that need not be distorted in order to have the proper appearance on the model.

A method for producing a plastic composite panel which is provided as a layer structure. The method includes providing a film layer structure comprising an adhesive layer which is arranged between two transparent plastic films. The film layer structure is pre-molded to assume an approximately final shape and is arranged in a molding tool so that a first main surface of the film layer structure is towards the molding surface of the molding tool and so that a cavity is formed between the second main surface of the film layer structure and a surface of the molding tool. The film layer structure is then back-molded in a thermal molding method step while introducing a thermoplastic material into the cavity to provide the layer structure. A pre-molding and back-molding step, a rigidification of the thermoplastic layer, and a demolding of the layer structure is further performed.

The present invention relates to a method and mold (100, 110) for forming a thermoplastic composite (1) that has one or more inner openings (0). The present invention further relates to a thermoplastic composite (1) manufactured using such method. Typically, forming of a thermoplastic composite (1) is achieved using a mold (100, 110) comprising a first (100) and second (110) mold part that are moved towards each other for the purpose of forming the thermoplastic composite (1). According to the invention, the mold further comprises a third mold part (120) that is movably arranged around the one or more first mold parts (100). Furthermore, an additional step is used of clamping the outer part in between the second and third mold parts during the mutual movement of the first and second mold parts while allowing the one or more inner parts to move relative to the one or more first mold parts thereby increasing the one or more inner openings, respectively.

A thermoforming method includes forming a skin comprising a plurality of plies thermoplastic resin and fiber, securing an edge of the skin to a mandrel, heating, via a heating element, the skin to a forming temperature, moving a thermoforming apparatus with respect to the mandrel, rolling at least one roller of the thermoforming apparatus along the skin in a direction away from the clamped edge of the skin in response to the thermoforming apparatus moving with respect to the mandrel, and in response to the at least one roller of the thermoforming apparatus rolling along the skin, compressing the skin between the at least one roller and the mandrel, consolidating the plurality of plies of material, and bending the skin to conform to a shape of the mandrel. The consolidated and formed skin is then cooled and removed from the mandrel.
