  • this first silicone membrane (8) has a shape adapted to the preforming cavity as illustrated in FIG. 2, thus making it possible to limit the pressure required to be applied via the bladders (4) so that they can press the foil (MP) onto the preform (2).
  • the system comprises a second elastic membrane (9) whose function is to carry the plastic sheet (MP) above the preforming footprint (2) before the implementation of plating means (4), thereby promoting preforming by accompanying the displacement and sliding of the sheet on the shapes of the impression.
  • the second membrane (9) is preferably made of silicone. This membrane (9) can be carried by the frame (6).
  • this second membrane (9) can be advantageously used to eject the preformed part. To do this we use the high elasticity of the membrane (9): returning to its flat shape, the membrane (9) ejects the preformed part of the preforming cavity (2).
  • the advantage of the two membranes (8 and 9) of silicone is also to allow the sliding of the thermosetting plastic sheet (MP) along the surface of the preforming cavity (2).
  • This slippage does not necessarily mean an overall movement of the sheet (MP), because if a reference support is applied, the sheet (MP) remains locally under this support in a fixed position. But the rest of the sheet (MP), not engaged with the reference support slips and deforms to be draped by plating and sliding on the preforming footprint (2). This sliding thus allows the sheet (MP) to be covered on the preforming cavity (2) without tearing, since the sheet can follow the preform.
