Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for the moulding of a load-bearing element made of reinforced thermoplastic, and to one such load-bearing element. The invention touches on the technical fields of thermoforming of so-called sandwich elements, and blow-moulding of hollow bodies made of reinforced thermoplastic. The invention uses thermoplastic layers in a material charge as a plastic membrane which, upon internal pressurization or external vacuum generation, is non-permeable. With the aid of pneumatics and/or hydraulics, the plastic membrane provides a moulding force, in the direction towards the internal surfaces of a moulding tool, on reinforcement material which lies between the plastic membrane and the internal walls of the moulding tool. By heating the thermoplastic matrix material, either before or during moulding, to a temperature exceeding the softening temperature, a material charge can be moulded and consolidated inside the moulding tool in order to provide a load-bearing element made of reinforced thermoplastic. Load-bearing elements according to the invention are advantageously used for load-bearing components in vehicles, but they can also be used for other applications where low weight and high rigidity are required.
