Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of a composite of continuous fibers (11) and plastic. The fibers are present as a unidirectional fiber arrangement (1) or in the form of strand-like, multi-fibrous threads (1), with these threads forming a textile thread arrangement (10), in particular a fabric or braided fabric. The fibers are embedded into a plastic matrix, wherein a polymer or different polymers are provided for the manufacture of the matrix. The fiber arrangement or thread arrangement (1, 10) is draw off from a supply point, in particular a supply reel (100), and impregnated with particles of plastic, with subsequently at least a part of the particles being converted by melting into the matrix. A mean diameter of the particles is not substantially larger than the diameter of the fibers (11). The fiber arrangement or thread arrangement (1, 10) is transported without deflecting elements and guided in one plane.
