• the metal is generally chosen for relatively large parts of the part that do not require complex shaping, the large metal parts being, moreover, cheaper than the large plastic parts.
• the plastic is generally chosen for parts of the hybrid part having complex shapes, the plastic being easier to form by molding than is the metal by stamping.

• the metal body 14A includes orifices 64A, 64B formed on stamping lines 65A, 65B. Each orifice has a generally slot shape so that the drawing lines 65A, 65B form dashed outlines of the stamped portions 66A, 66B.
• the cohesive portion P also has cohesive orifices 66.
• the plastic body 16 extends through the orifices 66 and connects the cohesive surfaces 24A1, 24A2, 24B1, 24B2 to one another.
• FIGS. 6 and 7 show a mold according to a second embodiment of the invention.
• the portion 28 comprises two tanks 68A, 68B disposed on either side of a slot 69.
• the portion 30, complementary to the portion 28 comprises two slots 7OA, 7OB and a tank 71.
• the mold 10 comprises, in contrast to the first embodiment, cutting means 72.
• the cutting means 72 comprise a cutting edge 73.
• the metal body 14A and 14B are interconnected by a metal body 14C to form the metal body 14.
• the metal body 14C is connected to each metal body 14A and 14B by a zone of necking
• the metal body 14 may comprise orifices having a general slot shape delimiting the portion 14C portions 14A and 14B in a dotted outline forming a tear line of the metal body.
• the mold 10 according to the second embodiment of the invention makes it possible to implement a method according to a second embodiment of the invention, the particularities of which will be specified below.
• the magnetic fastening means 6OA, 6OB now respectively the metal body 14A, 14B, the slot 69 exerts a force on the metal body 14C.
• the metal body is then separated into three secondary metal bodies 14A, 14B, 14C by tearing the necking zones 74A, 74B.
• the metal body 14B is cut using the cutting means 72.
• the body 14C is maintained, preferably by the positioning means 40.
• the body 14C locally reinforces the body 16 made of plastic material.
