Method and device for producing a plastics component, and a plastics component

A method for producing at least one plastic component, wherein, in the method the following steps, are carried out:

• a) providing at least one film and at least one sensor film, wherein the at least one film and/or the at least one sensor film has at least one thermoplastic material or at least one thermoplastic polymer,
• b) applying the at least one sensor film to at least one first region of a surface of the at least one film,
• c) forming the at least one film comprising the at least one sensor film, wherein one or more formed film bodies are made,
• d) punching out one or more film elements made from at least one second region of the one or more formed film bodies,
• wherein the at least one sensor film and/or the at least one film in step a) has polyethylene terephthalate as at least one thermoplastic material or as at least one thermoplastic polymer and the thickness of the at least one film in step a) and/or b) is greater than the thickness of the at least one sensor film in step a) and/or b).

A device for producing at least one plastic component wherein the device has at least one feed station, which is designed in such a way that the at least one feed station provides at least one film and provides at least one sensor film, wherein the at least one film and/or the at least one sensor film has at least one thermoplastic material or at least one thermoplastic polymer,

• and wherein the device has at least one applying station, which is designed in such a way that the at least one applying station applies the at least one sensor film to at least one first region of a surface of the at least one film,
• and wherein the device has at least one forming station, which is designed in such a way that the at least one forming station forms the at least one film comprising the at least one sensor film to make at least one formed film body,
• and wherein the device has at least one punching station, which is designed in such a way that the at least one punching station punches at least one film element out of at least one second region of the at least one formed film body, wherein
• the at least one sensor film and/or the at least one film has polyethylene terephthalate as at least one thermoplastic material or has at least one thermoplastic polymer and the at least one film has a thickness of from 250 μm to 3000 μm, wherein the at least one sensor film has a thickness of from 25 μm to 150 μm.
