Patent ID: 6890470

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a fiber composite structural component having a given contour by using fiber composite construction features, said method comprising the following steps: a) using a mold core ( 1 ) having at least two separable core sections ( 2 , 3 ) which together have a mold core contour closely resembling said given contour of said fiber composite structural component, b) performing an automatic circular weaving operation, thereby applying a fiber material ( 5 ) around said mold core ( 1 ) to form a fiber material body ( 6 ), c) removing one of said separable core sections ( 3 ) out of said fiber material body ( 6 ) to provide an empty portion of said fiber material body, d) shaping said fiber material body ( 6 ) including said empty portion with the other separable core section ( 2 ) still in said fiber material body ( 6 ), into said given contour to form a semi-finished product ( 7 ), e) impregnating said semi-finished product with a resin matrix material and curing said impregnated semi-finished product to produce said fiber composite structural component, and f) removing the other core section ( 2 ) from said structural component.
