Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019052806A1] The invention relates to a method for shaping a starting material (20) of powdered plastic particles, said method having the following method steps: a) providing powdered plastic particles as starting material (20); b) heating the plastic particles in a first treatment space to a first temperature (T1) below the melting point of the plastic, the first temperature (T1) being determined such that the plastic particles do not yet stick to one another; c) transferring a directed current of the plastic particles thus heated into a second treatment space (42); d) heating the plastic particles in the second treatment space (42) to a second temperature (T2) above the melting point of the plastic; and e) cooling the plastic particles to a temperature below the first temperature (T1).
