A three-dimensional structural molded part is provided having one or more pre-formed organometallic sheet-metal parts each having at least one edge. The organometallic sheet-metal parts are connected at respective edges at least partly by an injection-molded plastics material.

A method for producing a fibrous composite material component, in particular for a vehicle. According to the method, at least one dry woven fabric layer is initially provided, wherein the woven fabric layer includes carbon fibers. A binder is then applied to the woven fabric layer. Further, the woven fabric layer is reshaped into a preform layer, wherein the binder is activated during the reshaping and the woven fabric is stabilized in the reshaped shape. The preform layer is then applied to further woven fabric layers in order to strengthen the shape. The connection of the preform layer and the further woven fabric layers thus results in a preform, which is inserted into a molding tool for carrying out an RTM process. Then, the RTM process is carried out in order to obtain a fibrous composite material component.

A method for producing at least one plastic component (1), wherein in the method the following steps, preferably in the following sequence, preferably cyclically in the following sequence, are carried out: a) providing at least one film (2) and at least one sensor film (3), wherein the at least one film (2) and/or the at least one sensor film (3) has at least one thermoplastic material or at least one thermoplastic polymer; b) applying the at least one sensor film (3) to at least one first region of a surface of the at least one film (2); c) forming the at least one film (2) having the at least one sensor film (3), wherein one or more formed film bodies (4) are made; d) punching out one or more film elements (4a) made from at least one second region of the one or more formed film bodies (4), and a device (10) and a plastic component (1).

A structural reinforcement for an article including a carrier that includes: (i) a mass of polymeric material having an outer surface; and (ii) at least one consolidated fibrous insert having an outer surface and including at least one elongated fiber arrangement having a plurality of ordered fibers arranged in a predetermined manner. The fibrous insert is envisioned to adjoin the mass of the polymeric material in a predetermined location for carrying a predetermined load that is subjected upon the predetermined location (thereby effectively providing localized reinforcement to that predetermined location). The fibrous insert and the mass of polymeric material are of compatible materials, structures or both, for allowing the fibrous insert to be at least partially joined to the mass of the polymeric material. Disposed upon at least a portion of the carrier will be a mass of activatable material.
