Method of Manufacturing a Component from a Composite Material with Locally Different Thicknesses

A method for producing a component from a composite material having locally different thicknesses, comprising the steps of:

• providing a first laminate arrangement,
• arranging a release layer on at least one separating portion of a first surface of the first laminate arrangement,
• providing a second laminate arrangement having a second surface which correlates with the first surface of the first laminate arrangement,
• placing the second laminate arrangement with the second surface onto the first surface of the first laminate arrangement, so that the at least one separating section is enclosed,
• joining the first laminate arrangement with the second laminate arrangement by heating and/or pressing,
• guiding a cutting tool along at least one contour in the second laminate arrangement correlating with the at least one separating portion, so that at least one segment of the second laminate arrangement is completely detached, and
• removing the at least one detached segment, so that a recess is formed in each case.
