Abstract:
The smart card according to the invention is manufactured by injection moulding plastic material in a mould comprising a shearing assembly comprising a punch (41) and a die (42) that slide in the opposite walls (31, 32) respectively of the mould, in a sliding direction that is orthogonal to the overall plan. The card is at least partially sheared in the attaching zones (40) between a card body in a first format (3) and a card body (4) in a second smaller format, by simultaneously displacing the die and the punch, between which the card body (4) is held, in one direction and then in the opposite direction to bring the card body (4) in the second format back to its initial position in relation to the card body (3). Application particularly for the manufacturing of multi-format smart cards.
