Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing prism-shaped panels (), each comprising through portions () made of translucent material adapted to transmit light between two opposite sides of the panel. The method includes arranging a plurality of elements () made of translucent material in a formwork so that the main direction of development () of such elements is parallel to the vertical direction of development () of the formwork. The method includes pouring cementitious mortar into said formwork () so that said cementitious mortar is distributed between said elements and so as to generate, after the hardening of said cementitious mortar, a substantially prism-shaped semi-finished cementitious mortar product () in which said elements made of translucent material are incorporated. The method further includes extracting the semi-finished product from said formwork after the hardening of the cementitious mortar, and cutting the semi-finished product according to cutting planes orthogonal to the longitudinal direction () in which the elements incorporated in said semi-finished product develop, so as to obtain prism-shaped parts, each of which corresponds to one of said panels ().
