Abstract: A visible component for a motor vehicle includes a fiber-reinforced plastics component having a multi-layer fiber reinforcement which is integrated in an at least largely transparent plastics matrix. The fiber reinforcement is formed by a visible layer in the form of a metallized glass fiber layer and at least one largely transparent structural layer. A touch display is also provided on a rear face of the fiber-reinforced plastics component facing the visible layer.

Abstract: A visible component for a motor vehicle includes a main body which is in the form of a fiber-reinforced plastic component with a multi-layer fiber reinforcement which is integrated into an at least substantially transparent plastic matrix. The fiber reinforcement is formed by an opaque visible layer or a visible layer in the form of a metalized glass fiber layer and by substantially transparent structural layers.

Abstract: A fiber composite component with a lighting function includes a fiber reinforced unit with at least two fiber layers integrated into a plastics matrix, and an electroluminescent light having a light source arranged between two adjacent fiber layers, the light source including a first insulating layer and a second insulating layer which electrically insulate the light source from the two adjacent fiber layers.

Abstract: A method for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic component and a fiber-reinforced plastic component. The method includes providing a textile insert having a decoration, inserting the textile insert and a semi-finished fiber product into a pressing tool, and processing the textile insert, the semi-finished fiber product, and a matrix material in the pressing tool to form the fiber-reinforced plastic component. The matrix material is cured during the processing.

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.
