## Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing of a form part, especially of a plane thin-walled fiber composite part, in a mould (1), comprising the steps: a) Providing of the mould (1), wherein the mould (1) comprises a cavity (2) with a nominal form volume (V) for inserting of a reactive mixture, wherein the cavity (2) is delimited by at least one cavity wall section (3) which is elastically deformable during the inserting of the reactive mixture and wherein the modulus of compressibility (K) of the cavity (2) is between 2,000 bar and 10,000 bar; b) Inserting of the reactive mixture into the cavity (2), wherein the reactive mixture is inserted with such a pressure into the cavity (2) so that the cavity volume is increased during the insertion of the reactive mixture due to elastic deformation of the at least one cavity wall section (3) above the nominal form volume (V); c) Letting solidify of the reactive mixture in the cavity (2); d) Demoulding of the finished form part from the mould (1). Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for the execution of the method.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Method for producing of a form part, especially of a plane thin-walled fiber composite part, in a mould, comprising the steps:
a) Providing of the mould, wherein the mould comprises a cavity with a nominal form volume for inserting of a reactive mixture, wherein the cavity is delimited by at least one cavity wall section which is elastically deformable during the inserting of the reactive mixture and wherein the modulus of compressibility of the cavity is between 2,000 bar and 10,000 bar;
b) Inserting of the reactive mixture into the cavity, wherein the reactive mixture is inserted with such a pressure into the cavity so that the cavity volume is increased during the insertion of the reactive mixture due to elastic deformation of the at least one cavity wall section above the nominal form volume;
c) Letting solidify of the reactive mixture in the cavity;
d) Demoulding of the finished form part from the mould.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Method according to claim 1, wherein prior the insertion of the reactive mixture into the cavity according to step b) fiber material is introduced, especially inlayed, into the cavity.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

Method according to claim 1, wherein the reactive mixture is inserted during step b) in such a way that the inner mould pressure lays between 10 bar and 100 bar.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Method according to claim 1, wherein after the processing of step b) and prior the processing of step d) an outer pressure, especially a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section, so that the at least one cavity wall section is deformed and the volume of the cavity is reduced.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

Method according to claim 4, wherein the outer pressure which is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section is controlled or feed-back controlled in such a manner that the pressure in the reactive mixture in the cavity, which is not yet solidified, is kept on a predetermined level, especially on a constant value.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

Method according to claim 4, wherein the outer pressure which is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section is increased during the solidification of the reactive mixture.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

Method according to claim 4, wherein the outer pressure which is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section is decreased during the solidification of the reactive mixture.

### Claim 8 (depends on 4)

Method according to claim 4, wherein the outer pressure which is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section is controlled or feed-back controlled in such a manner that the pressure in the reactive mixture in the cavity, which is not yet solidified, decreases from a pressure level immediately after the insertion of the reactive mixture according to step b) of at least 50 bar during letting solidify the reactive mixture according to step c).

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

Method according to claim 4, wherein the outer pressure which is applied onto the at least one cavity wall section is controlled or feed-back controlled in such a manner that the deformation of the at least one cavity wall section becomes zero till the end of letting solidify the reactive mixture according to step c).

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

Device comprising a mould with a cavity with a nominal form volume for execution of the method according to claim 1,
wherein
the cavity comprises at least one cavity wall section which delimits the cavity and which is designed in such a way that it deforms elastically during the insertion of the reactive mixture, wherein the modulus of compressibility of the cavity is between 2,000 bar and 10,000 bar.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

Device according to claim 10, wherein the at least one elastically deformable cavity wall section is connected with means by which an external pressure can be applied onto the cavity section.
