Abstract
A method of manufacturing components, in particular elongated profile sections, from band-like pre-impregnated fibers (prepreg) by application of a prepreg tape removed from a roll in a feed direction onto a carrier tape moved in a feed direction and application of at least one other prepreg tape removed from a roll onto the applied tape in order to create a multi-layer tape, compression of the prepreg tapes of the multi-layer tape, and subsequent shaping of at least one component. In order to utilize prepreg tape remnants with this method, that would otherwise have to be destroyed as waste, the prepreg tapes on the rolls have different lengths, and when the prepreg tape of a roll is used up, the application of prepreg tape from a new roll onto the same composite layer of prepreg material is continued.
