This invention provides a method for producing a structural component, particularly in the aerospace sector. An unhardened prepreg fabric is formed from a composite fiber material, hardenable at a first hardening temperature, into a predetermined shape. The unhardened prepreg fabric is then connected to at least one hardening part of a composite fiber material partially hardened at a second hardening temperature for holding the unhardened prepreg fabric in the predetermined shape, wherein the second hardening temperature is lower than the first hardening temperature. In a further method step the unhardened prepreg fabric connected to the at least one holding part is hardened at the first hardening temperature to form the structural component. The idea on which this invention is based consists in replacing expensive tools of special steel previously used for holding dimensionally unstable prepreg fabrics with at least one holding part of composite fiber materials, wherein the at least one holding part has a lower hardening temperature than the prepreg fabric, and can therefore be produced with a lower cost tool.
