  • Patent number: 10807350
    Abstract: A method for producing a sandwich component, and an apparatus for producing a sandwich component. The method includes providing a plurality of webs of material, applying at least one matrix material to an upper side and/or an underside of at least one of the webs of material, wherein applying the at least one matrix material includes applying the at least one matrix material such in different ways to create at least one zone of the sandwich component having mechanical properties that differ from mechanical properties of other parts of the sandwich component, arranging at least one core layer on one of the webs of material, and pressing the webs of material and the at least one core layer to form the sandwich component such that the core layer is arranged between at least two of the webs of material.

  • Patent number: 10265937
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sandwich component includes applying at least one matrix material to the upper side and/or the underside of at least one material blank, and arranging the material blanks above one another and/or next to one another. At least two of the material blanks differ in design or matrix material may be applied in different ways along the upper side and/or underside thereof, or matrix material is applied in different ways to at least one of the material blanks along the upper side and/or underside thereof. In that way, at least one horizontal and/or vertical zone of the sandwich component is created having different mechanical properties than other regions of the sandwich component. The material blanks are then pressed to form the sandwich component.
