Abstract: This invention relates to a porous pulp mould comprising sintered particles and a plurality of drainage channels. The pulp mould of the invention can be produced in a fast and cost effective way. The moulding surface of the invention comprises small pore openings, to evacuate fluid and prevent fibres from entering the pulp mould. Furthermore the pulp mould of the invention comprises drainage channels improving the drainage capabilities of the pulp mould. The moulding surface can be heated to at least 200° C., due to high heat conductivity of the pulp mould and its ability to withstand high temperatures.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a machine for making a fibre product. The invention also relates to a shaped body produced by the inventive method. According to the invention, a fibre product is formed on a first tool. The formed fibre product is then sandwiched between the first tool and a second tool and the surface of the second tool is heated to at least 220° C. to evaporate water from the fibre product. The tools are permeable to air and water When the fibre product has been dewatered to a dry solids content of at least 70%, the fibre product is subjected to microwave heating.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for forming a three dimensional sintered body (100) comprising the steps of a) providing a basic mould having a configuration adapted to the sintering body that is to be produced, b) treating the surface of the basic mould to facilitate application of a first surface layer (130) of the sintered body (100), c) applying powder particles (131) onto the basic mould, to form said first surface layer (130), d) applying at least one more layer (120) on top of said first surface layer (130), e) heat treating the basic mould (400) and the particles to form a sintered body, wherein step b) is performed by providing an adhering (604) to the basic mould arranged to adhere the particles (131) of at least a portion of the surface layer (130).

Abstract: The invention relates to a forming tool 1 for forming fibre products. The forming tool according to the invention comprises a permeable shell 3 with an internal cavity 5 that is filled with loose objects 6 such as spheres. The cavity 5 is enclosed by the shell 3 and a permeable cover 7.
