Abstract
A method for producing a substantially shell-shaped, fiber-reinforced plastic part includes preheating a material blank that is formed of a fibrous material impregnated with a matrix material using a heating device to ensure the formability and placing the preheated material blank into a shaping tool having an upper die and a lower die. The shaping tool is then closed to form the material blank. Using a cooling device, at least one shaping surface of the shaping tool, with the material blank inserted, is at least partially cooled.
Claims27
A method for producing a substantially shell-shaped, fiber-reinforced plastic part (1), comprising steps of:
- preheating a material blank (2) that comprises a fibrous material impregnated with a matrix material using a heating device (8) to ensure the formability thereof;
- placing the preheated material blank (2) into a shaping tool (3) that comprises an upper die (4) and a lower die (5);
- closing the shaping tool (3) to form the material blank (2);
- using a cooling device (9) to at last partially cool at least one shaping surface (4a, 5a) of the shaping tool (3), with the material blank inserted (2).
