Abstract: A forming device and a method of manufacture of a fillet of plastic for aircraft assemblies. The fillet has a pre-determined profile for filling a cavity of a structural element. The fillet is formed using a former of a forming device. The method includes applying at least one blank of a base material of plastic between at least two opposed press beds of the former and at least one of the press beds including an elongated groove. At least one press bed is towards another press bed, until the press beds are in position for completed compression of the fillet. Each groove for forming of the fillet generates a fillet in correspondence with the pre-determined profile. The press beds are separated from each other for releasing the formed fillet. The formed fillet is removed from the former. The formed fillet is applied in the cavity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a forming device (1) and a method of manufacture of a fillet (17) of plastic for aircraft assemblies or the like, said fillet (17) having a pre-determined profile (9) for filling a cavity (61) of a structural element (59), the fillet (17) being formed using a forming means (29) of a forming device (1).
