  • Publication number: 20250214310
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a preform building element used for building a wind turbine rotor blade, that is manufactured from one or more fiber mat components and at least one further component arranged on a molding surface of a mold, wherein one or more fiber mat components are arranged one after the other on the further component and/or on previously arranged fiber mat components, wherein the fiber mat component is laid out at least sectionally on the respective directly subjacent component with a moving boundary of a contact area, at which the laid out fiber mat comes into contact with the subjacent component, during laying out of the or each fiber mat component, a binding agent is applied at least sectionally to the boundary and/or a binding agent supplied in the laid-out fiber mat component and/or in the subjacent component is activated at least sectionally at and/or behind the boundary.
