Abstract

A method for producing a three-dimensional fiber composite component with fiber bundles which are shaped from a rod- or strand-like initial shape into a predetermined three-dimensional shape of the component by way of a shape defining apparatus. The shape defining apparatus has at least one shaping channel having a first curvature along its longitudinal direction, which is predetermined for the fiber composite component, and forms at least one leading edge. The fiber bundles are pressed against the at least one leading edge of the shaping channel, thereby adopting the predetermined first curvature.
