Abstract

L'invention concerne un câble plat formé en trois dimensions, qui comprend un aggloméré stratifié, composé d'au moins un tracé conducteur noyé entre deux couches isolantes, ainsi qu'une couche support, qui sont interconnectés par une couche adhésive. Ledit aggloméré stratifié est appliqué sur un outil de formage positif et mis en forme sous apport de chaleur et/ou de rayonnement et/ou de pression, et est ensuite fixé dans sa conformation en trois dimensions, par refroidissement en dessous de la température de transition vitreuse Tg de la couche adhésive ou par durcissement de ladite couche adhésive.
