Claim:
1. A method for producing a component from a fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material having an arrangement of fibres embedded in a matrix of a thermoplastic material, the method comprising: thermally shaping the fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material; placing the thermally shaped fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material into an injection mould having injection points and at least one mandrel; forming at least one encapsulated clearance in the thermally shaped fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material by placing the injection points in proximity of the at least one encapsulated clearance to be formed, in a manner such that during distribution of the thermoplastic material, an arrangement of fibres of the matrix is widened in dependence on a measured temperature by pushing the at least one mandrel into the fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material at a location of the at least one encapsulated clearance to be formed; wherein the injection points lie at a radial distance of up to 10 cm from the at least one encapsulated clearance to be formed.
