Abstract

A process for producing a fiber-reinforced plastic part, includes the steps of providing a mat-type reinforcing matrix consisting of a fiber material; inserting the reinforcing matrix into an injection molding tool; closing the injection molding tool; placing a liquid thermosetting plastic material in the injection molding tool, the reinforcing matrix being saturated with plastic material. In a connection area, in which the plastic part to be produced is to be connectable later with a further component, the reinforcing matrix is deformed such that a trough-type bulging-out is formed. A place holder element is inserted into the bulging-out, and the bulging-out is filled up with plastic material around the place holder element.
