Abstract: The invention is characterized by a semifinished composite structure product with the at least two layers, of which the at least one layer, in which the continuous fibers are contained, is heated such that the matrix of thermoplastic material is heated within at least one first surface region to or above a melting temperature that can be assigned to the thermoplastic material, and the matrix of thermoplastic material is kept to a temperature below the melting temperature within a second surface region directly adjoining the first surface region. The semifinished composite structure product is heated in this way so that the moldable thermoplastic, continuous fiber-reinforced composite structure in which the continuous fibers within the first surface region are movable relative to each other and those within the second surface region are spatially fixed relative to each other.

Abstract: Described is a method for producing a sandwich composite component and a sandwich composite component with a pressed two- or three-dimensional shape, having at least one structured core layer made of thermoplastic material which has two opposite core layer surfaces, each bonded to a thermoplastic cover layer. A sandwich composite component is also described.

Abstract: A device may be provided for additively manufacturing a component, comprising at least one component holder, which is designed to hold the component to be manufactured, and comprising at least one application device, which is designed to heat a thermoplastic material and to deposit it in a predeterminable amount, wherein the device also includes at least one radiation source, which is designed to produce electromagnetic radiation, by means of which at least one partial area of the component can be heated, and the device also includes at least one supply apparatus, which is designed to introduce a fiber reinforcement into the component, which fiber reinforcement includes or consists of an endless fiber. A method for additively manufacturing a component may also be provided.
