  • Publication number: 20040096628
    Abstract: A composite panel has a three-dimensionally deformed middle layer and at least one layer arranged on at least one side of the middle layer. The middle layer has protrusions formed on both sides of a midplane with a plurality of end surfaces arranged at least partially parallel to the midplane. The end surfaces of the protrusions form contact surfaces to receive the at least one layer. The process for the production of the composite panel, employs the steps of supplying the middle layer with protrusions arranged on both sides of the midplane to a laminating station for laminating on at least one layer and moving the composite panel out of the laminating station, and supplying the composite panel to a cooling station.
