Zusammenfassung:Moldings, for example hollow articles, are produced by sintering a thermoplastic powder or granular material and then reshaping the resulting blank by thermoforming. Sintering is carried out in a mold cavity under pressure, by exposure to high-frequency vibrations, which heats the plastic to a temperature intermediate between its softening point and its melting point. In this way, grain boundary adhesion between the individual plastic particles constituting the blank results, and the directly subsequent thermoforming can be carried out without additional supply of heat.
