Abstract: A method for producing textile composite material preforms, particularly with or from one or more textile semi-finished products, includes compression molding a planar structure of one or more textile composite materials. The planar structure is cut laterally into textile composite material sections prior to compression molding and these cut textile composite material sections undergo compression molding individually or collectively and particularly with one or more other textile composite material sections such that as a result one or more textile composite material preforms are fully or partially formed.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a fiber preform for a fiber composite component, in which method a fiber arrangement is provided on a support material and the support material is held, during a forming process, by a clamping device. The method provides at least one blank made of a fiber material; orients the blank according to the direction of loading of the blank in the fiber composite component by means of an automated manipulation device; fastens the blank to the support material; and provides the support material having the fastened blank for a subsequent process.

Abstract: A cutting head for an ultrasonic cutting device includes an ultrasonic system with a cutting blade and a sonotrode. The ultrasonic system is mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation.
