The punching flank 303 on the shaping press 30 makes a second angle with the grain of the wood fibers. In order to allow a wider variety of shapes to be pressed into the workpiece and facilitate the demolding of the object from the press after pressing, this angle may vary between 0 and 5. Thus, the profile of the shaping press on its punching flank may be slightly tapered as illustrated in FIG. 6. This second angle additionally makes it possible to obtain a higher quality finish on the internal surface of the wood object.

Disclosed is a manufacturing method of a composite panel, comprising: a providing step of providing a flexible sheet; an attaching step of forming a lamellar structure by attaching at least one lamellar board to cover the flexible sheet; and a cutting step of cutting a plurality of longitudinal grooves in the lamellar structure layer to form a plurality of lamellar strips, thereby obtaining the composite panel that is able to be bent laterally into a curved configuration.

In a method for producing a three-dimensionally flexurally deformable surface element (3D surface element) from wood or wood composite material, a workpiece made of wood, layered wood or a composite of wood and one or more further surface materials is used, its thickness being greater, in particular at least 5% greater, than the thickness of the 3D surface element to be produced. Narrow grooves spaced apart from one another are introduced into the workpiece, wherein the groove depth is in each case greater than or equal to the thickness of the 3D surface element and less than the thickness of the workpiece. The portion of the workpiece which exceeds the thickness of the 3D surface element to be produced is then separated from the remaining 3D surface element or otherwise processed such that there is at least temporarily no solid cohesion of the areas separated by grooves and the areas of the workpiece separated by grooves are fixed to each other and/or to a support by a transverse bond prior to, during or after separation from the workpiece, wherein at least two adjacent grooves, in particular all of the grooves, are introduced into the workpiece in such a way that at least sections exhibit an irregular undulation and/or contiguous rectilinear sections extending in different directions in a plan view of the workpiece.

A system and method for designing and manufacturing free-form objects made of composite material and optimised in their weight ratio and load capacity; a system for the design and manufacture of said objects, and the objects resulting from said method. Using three-dimensional (3D) design computer programs and computer calculation programs, the design of a composite material object is obtained, with a specific shape and orientation of its component fragments, optimised to be light and at the same time to meet a required specific mechanical and/or structural performance. Subsequently, a mould of at least two parts is obtained from this design and the parameters of said design are transformed into instructions so that one or more automated manufacturing machines deposit fragments of wood or another material onto the lower part of the mould in specific orientations, calculated to minimise the weight of the object and optimise its load capacity. Then, with the addition of one or more binders, the object is pressed between the parts of said mould. Finally, the new manufactured object is obtained by removing it from the mould.

A method for producing boards, wherein raw material (6) is provided and production steps are performed to obtain said boards, with half products formed during said production steps, wherein the productions steps comprise at least the following production steps: -a basic step wherein at least said raw material (6) is transported to a shaping unit (1); -a shaping step, wherein said raw material (6) is formed into plate shaped material to form a plate shaped half product (7); -a sawing step wherein said plate shaped half product (7) is sawn to board shaped half products (8); wherein these board shaped half products (8) are formed into respective boards, wherein, a number of boards is linked to a respective ID tag or comprises a respective ID tag, wherein said ID tags comprise individual data about parameters relating to production steps of said respective boards.
