Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a bent thermoplastic composite, comprising 35% or less in volume of a polymeric matrix including (meth)acrylic polymers, and at least 65% in volume of fiber, where the method includes (a) a step of providing the thermoplastic composite; (b) a step of heating a portion of the thermoplastic composite, said heating being selected between, conduction, radial and/or volumetric and the heating duration and/or the heating temperature being selected according to at least the thickness of the thermoplastic composite; (c) a step of creating a bent section in the heated portion by bending the heated portion; and (d) a step of cooling the bent section to solidify it and to form a bent thermoplastic composite, at a cooling temperature and/or a cooling duration selected in accordance with the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the bent thermoplastic composite.
