摘要:
The present invention relates to a forming device (1) and a method of manufacture of a fillet (17) of plastic for aircraft assemblies or the like, said fillet (17) having a predetermined profile (9) for filling a cavity (61) of a structural element (59), the fillet (17) being formed using a forming means (29) of a forming device (1). The method comprises the steps of applying at least one blank of a base material (15) of plastic between at least two opposed press beds (5) of the forming means (29) and at least one of said press beds (5) comprising elongated grooves (7); moving at least one press bed (5) towards the other press bed, until the press beds (5) are in position for completed compression of the fillet (17), wherein each groove (7) for forming of the fillet (17) generates a fillet (17) in correspondence with said pre-determined profile (9); separating the press beds (5) from each other for releasing the formed fillets (17); removing the formed fillets (17) from the forming means (29); and applying the formed fillets (17) in the cavity (61).
