Abstract: A method using a tool for producing a fiber composite component includes a planar fiber lay-up placed on a carrier mold, provided with a stiffening section protruding from the lay-up and pressed between parts of a molding tool. A chamber sealed from the mold is formed by an air-tight film enclosing the tool, the lay-up and the stiffening section. The chamber is connected to a resin supply line and a vacuum line. Resin is aspirated by negative pressure applied to the vacuum line, and the lay-up and the stiffening section are saturated by resin to form the fiber composite component. Air and resin are drawn between the parts of the tool, through the stiffening section and into a suction channel extending in the tool and connected to the vacuum line through a suction opening of the tool, for conducting air and/or resin.
