Data are presented which demonstrate that thermoplastic materials can be cold formed by using wobble press. Tests have shown that nylon 6, high density polyethylene, polyoxymethylene and polycarbonate can be cold formed in this way. No lubricants need be used. Increasing the temperature of the preforms does not necessarily result in better forming. Shrinkage of the end products is between 3 and 8%. For figures see German text.
