Abstract
In a method of producing a hybrid structure, a fiber material is formed three-dimensionally during a pressing process through extrusion in a press tool to produce a functional component. The fiber material is hardened at least in part and directly joined in the press tool with a metal component. Forming of the functional component of fiber-reinforced plastic and joining with the metal component is implemented in a single method step.

A method of producing a hybrid structure, comprising:
- forming a fiber material three-dimensionally during a pressing process through extrusion in a press tool to produce a functional component;
- hardening the fiber material at least in part;
- and
- directly joining the fiber material in the press tool with a metal component.
A hybrid structure, comprising:
- a metal component;
- and
- a functional component formed through extrusion from fiber material and directly joined with the metal component during extrusion.
A motor vehicle, comprising a hybrid structure which includes a metal component, and a functional component which is formed through extrusion from fiber material and directly joined with the metal component during extrusion.
