A shaped part comprises a decorative layer on a shaped-part front side, which is configured as the visible face, and a carrier on a shaped-part reverse side. The shaped-part front side is subdivided into at least two regions, a first region and a second region. The decorative layer comprises a first decorative material and a second decorative material, each having a front side and a reverse side. In the first region, the front side the first decorative material provides part of the visible face, and in the second region, the front side of the second decorative material provides part of the visible face. The method comprises preshaping the first and second decorative materials, placing the preshaped decorative materials into an opened cavity of an injection mold, closing the cavity, and configuring the carrier by injecting plastics material into the cavity.

A preform for a turbine engine blade, the preform comprising a main fiber preform obtained by three-dimensional weaving and comprising a first longitudinal segment suitable for forming a blade root (21), a second longitudinal segment extending the first longitudinal segment upwards, and suitable for forming an airfoil portion (22), and a first transverse segment extending transversely from the junction between the first and second longitudinal segments, and suitable for forming a first platform (23), wherein the preform also includes at least one stiffener (40) fitted on the main fiber preform along at least a portion of the distal edge of the first transverse segment.

A method for the production of plastic parts, in particular of composite parts, utilizes at least two components to be mixed in a mixing chamber and a cavity formed between a first and a second mold half of a molding tool. The cavity comprises a mold part section and a sprue section, and the sprue section or the mold part section is used as mixing chamber.

It is an object of the present invention to securely and integrally join a metal and a resin, more particularly, a shaped titanium alloy substrate and a resin composition. A titanium alloy substrate is used that has undergone surface roughening by chemical etching or the like so as to have a ultrafine textured face in which bent, ridge-like protrusions having a width and height of from ten to a few hundred nanometers and a length of from a few to a few hundred microns rise up on the surface at a spacing period of from ten to a few hundred nanometers. A titanium alloy piece 1 with its surface treated is inserted into the cavity of a metallic mold for injection molding 10 and a specific resin composition 4 is injected to obtain an integrated composite 7. The main resin component of the resin composition 4 that is used can be a polyphenylene sulfide resin (PPS) or a polybutylene terephthalate resin (PBT). High injection joining strength is obtained if the resin composition contains, as an auxiliary component, a polyethylene terephthalate resin and/or polyolefin resin in the case of PBT and a polyolefin resin in the case of PPS.

A method for producing a component from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material referred to as an organometallic sheet, and which includes an arrangement of fibers embedded in a matrix of a thermoplastic material. To produce the component, the organometallic sheet is thermally shaped and then placed into an injection mold. A mold for carrying out a method for producing a component from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material is also provided.

A method of forming a trim panel is provided. The method including the steps of: placing a non-woven mat of material in a heating press; heating the material to a predetermined temperature; applying a decorative film to a first surface of the heated material to create a bilaminate; placing the bilaminate layer into a cavity of a tool such that the decorative film is facing the cavity; heating the cavity; and injecting a thermoplastic resin into the tool such that the thermoplastic resin is adhered to a second surface of the material, the second surface being opposite to the first surface.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a coated plastic part (1) intended to be integrated into a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, the coated plastic part including a base part comprising a raised section (6), and a sheet (3) comprising a useful surface (11), the method comprising a step of creating (102, 201) at least one flap (12) in the useful surface, a positioning step (103, 202) in which the sheet is positioned opposite a shaping tool (15) comprising a raised area (14) of a complementary shape to the raised section (6), a shaping step (104, 203), in which the sheet is pressed against the shaping tool (15), and a joining step (105, 204) in which the sheet and the base part are held against each other so as to facilitate the rigid connection of the sheet and the base part.

A method for producing a urinary catheter comprises the steps: providing a tubular catheter shaft having an axially extending lumen therein; thermoforming an end of the tubular catheter shaft into a closed end; inserting said closed end of the tubular catheter shaft into an injection mold cavity; and injecting thermoplastic polymer material into the mold cavity to form a tip on the thermoformed end of the tubular catheter shaft. Hereby, a very effective method is obtained, forming securely attached tips. Alternatively, an end of the tubular catheter shaft with a non-closed opening may be inserted into the injection mold cavity; and thermoplastic polymer material be injected into the mold cavity to form a tip on the end of the tubular catheter shaft, whereby the injecting is controlled so that a limited amount of thermoplastic polymer enters into the lumen.

A method to form a part can comprise forming a pattern with a commingled yarn (10), wherein the commingled yarn comprises thermoplastic resin filaments (40) formed from a thermoplastic material and reinforcing filaments (20) formed from a reinforcing material, and wherein the reinforcing material has a glass transition temperature and/or a decomposition temperature that is higher than a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic material; attaching the pattern to a carrier material (76) to form a preform (70); and using the preform to form a part.
