Part production with reactive matrix materials and long-fibre reinforcement is known up to now for processes like long-fibre winding, tape- laying and laminates (GRP, CRP). Working with polymeric matrix materials is known in the area of glass-mat reinforced thermoplastics (GMT). The disadvan tage of the first named technologies are their long cycle times for part produc tion. The other process deals with problems like impregnation, high pressures for pressing and forming of the sheet and high temperatures to melt the ther moplastic material as a consequence of the high melt viscosity.
