Abstract: A method for creating a vacuum setup for processing a semi-finished fiber composite into a cured fiber composite component is provided. The semi-finished fiber composite is positioned on a molding surface of a tool so that a non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite faces away from the molding surface, covering the non-planar surface of the semi-finished fiber composite by applying an air-tight film and sealing the film with respect to the molding surface of the tool. Application of the film is performed using a plunger formed from a flexible material and having a plunger surface on which the film is retained.

Abstract: A process for producing a hollow profiled component formed by joining at least two laminated component elements, includes the steps of laminating a first of the component elements with at least one indentation, arranging a preformed hollow body in the indentation, applying an adhesive agent to a surface area of the first component element next to the indentation, placing the first component element together with the hollow body on the second component element with the indentation facing the second component element and the surface area provided with the adhesive agent contacting the second component element, covering the two component elements with a non-rigid fluid-tight covering, the interior of the hollow body being sealed off from the interior of the covering and being fluidically connected with the ambient exterior environment, placing the covered component elements in a pressure chamber, and applying a vacuum to the interior of the covering.
