Abstract

A method for the manufacture of a fiber-reinforced component includes heating a blank of a carbon-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic plastic material to at least a melting temperature of the thermoplastic plastic material; introducing the blank into an at least two-part molding tool; forming the fiber-reinforced component by applying pressure on the blank using the molding tool; and injecting a further thermoplastic plastic material into at least one edge region of the molding tool so as to form an edge seal.
