  • Fiber-reinforced vehicle body
    Patent number: 11554815
    Abstract: A method produces a fiber-reinforced body component for a motor vehicle. The body component has at least one opening, in particular one door opening or one window opening. The method includes at least the following steps: providing the body component; applying a reinforcing element made of fiber composite material having reinforcing fibers embedded in a matrix, in order to stiffen the body component, the matrix being in an uncured state, and the reinforcing element being applied to an opening frame of the opening, which opening frame is formed by the body component.

  • Method for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic component
    Patent number: 10583587
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic component, in particular for use in a motor vehicle. The method includes the acts of: providing a blow-molded hollow core, forming the fiber-reinforced plastic component on the hollow core; inserting an end of the hollow core between a first roller and a first counter element, and drawing the hollow core from the plastic component by rotationally driving the first roller.
