Nowadays great efforts are undertaken in order to improve the performance/cost balance of fabric reinforced polymeric composites via high-speed manufacturing and shaping processes. In this paper a low-cycle non-isothermal stamp forming process is described with all related processing parameters. Best results were achieved by using a well consolidated sheet, heated by an infrared technique and pressed in a matched die tool.
