This specification discloses an article of manufacture. The article of manufacture has at least one structural blank and at least one guide. The structural blank has a plurality of oriented fiber plies in a thermoplastic matrix. The guide has a plurality of random dispersed fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. The guide is affixed to the structural blank by injection molding and over molding the guide onto the structural blank. The article of manufacture can take a number of forms for use in industries such as aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, trains or watercraft.

A method for manufacturing a recycled carbon fiber underlay, which mixes recycled carbon fiber material with nylon or composite plastic and forms an elastic recycled carbon fiber injection particle material, and under an injection process condition, the recycled carbon fiber injection particle material is injected and molded into a recycled carbon fiber underlay. The recycled carbon fiber arch insole comprises a recycled carbon fiber underlay manufactured by the aforementioned manufacturing method, together with the data of podiatric medical big numeric database of human factors engineering for the innovative design of mechanical insole products and the application development of recycled materials to encourage recycling to reduce carbon emissions, while improving the function, durability, and comfort of insole inserts.

A rail for the fastening of equipment elements, such as, in particular, seats, in aircraft, includes a holding region for connection to an equipment element of an aircraft, and a support region to fasten the rail to a carrier element of the aircraft. The rail has a metallic shell which is, for example, made of titanium and which is filled with a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filler material which is reinforced by short fibers. To produce the rail, a metallic molded part is used as a casting mold and is filled, for example by injection, with the filler material and, after the rail has been produced, forms the metallic shell for the filler material.
