A method for producing a textile preform includes manufacturing a multi-layer fiber fabric, which includes a first flange portion and a web portion connected to the first flange portion, deforming a first fiber layer of the first flange portion with respect to the web portion, such that the first fiber layer is at a first flange portion angle to the web portion, a web height of the web portion being set in a variable manner during the deformation of the first fiber layer, and depositing a unidirectional fiber fabric only on the deformed first fiber layer of the first flange portion.

Method and device for producing a textile preform

Method for manufacturing a dry textile preform, including: pulling a textile fabric sheet; grabbing a first side portion of the sheet between rollers, the rollers forming a first flange of the first side portion of the sheet inclined at a predeterminable angle to the plane of extension of the sheet; grabbing a second side portion of the sheet opposite to the first side portion between other rollers, the other rollers forming a second flange of the second side portion of the sheet inclined at a predeterminable angle to the plane of extension of the sheet; adjusting a difference between the rolling speed of the pair of first rollers and the rolling speed of the pair of second rollers to form a curvature radius of the sheet; and adjusting distance between the rollers perpendicular to the movement direction of the sheet to form a web portion between the first flange.
