Patent ID: 8685297

Claim:
A method for the manufacture of a fiber-composite component having fiber mats cut according to a shape of the component, superimposed one above the other and infiltrated with synthetic resin, wherein; dry fiber mats are precut according to a shape of the component and placed one above the other into a lay-up mold curved according to the contour of the component and correctly positioned and fixed by locating pins passed through the fiber mats; while still being positioned and fixed by the locating pins, the superimposed precut fiber mats are subsequently sewn together in the lay-up mold with threads passed vertically through the fiber mats to form a blank; the blank thus preformed is whipped at its edges with a thread of thermoplastic material; the thermoplastic material is heated-up, the edges are subsequently smoothed with a tool and protruding fiber tips are cut off, and the blank is enclosed by a closed mold and subsequently infiltrated with synthetic resin; and further comprising: incorporating metal indicators distributed in an x/y direction into at least one of the fiber mats placed into the lay-up mold by at least one chosen from sewing on and integrating into a weave, after infiltration of the resin, determining displacement of the metal indicators from original positions thereof by detecting a position of the metal indicators externally of the mold by at least one chosen from radiography and computer tomography.
