Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a three-dimensional preform (19) from a fibre fabric (1) as part of production of fibre-reinforced formed components, comprising a draping device (3) and a transport device (21) for the fibre fabric (1), wherein said draping device (3) at least comprises a draping form (18) for a fibre fabric (3) and means, movable in relation to the draping form (18), for reshaping the fibre fabric (3) on the basis of the contour of the draping form (18). The problem addressed by the invention is that of ensuring swift yet high-quality reshaping, particularly of large-area and/or complex geometries of a preform. To solve the method problem, the invention states that the transport device (21) successively releases the fibre fabric (1) in the direction of the draping form (18) and the released regions of the fibre fabric (1) are fixed and/or draped on the draping form by means of a fixing stamp (4) and/or a draping stamp (5).
