A method for manufacturing an overhead storage compartment for an aircraft cabin, including providing a shell part extending between a first end and a second end, wherein the shell part has a first edge at the first end and a second edge at the second end. A first end wall and a second end wall are provided. The shell part and the first and second end walls are assembled, wherein the first edge is attached to the first end wall and the second edge is attached to the second end wall, such that the shell part, the first end wall and the second end wall together surround an interior space. An object, to provide a simple and fast method for manufacturing an overhead storage compartment, wherein possibly little handwork is required, is achieved in that the first end wall and/or the second end wall include an undirected long fiber reinforced plastic material.

A method for producing a fiber composite component includes a step (a) that includes a production of a semi-finished product by: providing a core layer having cavities; covering an outer face of the core layer with a layer-shaped semi-finished product having continuous fibers pre-impregnated with a first duroplastic matrix material; and applying a molding compound to a first deposit area of a front face of the first semi-finished product, the front face facing away from the core layer, wherein the molding compound includes a second long-fiber-reinforced duroplastic matrix material. The method also includes a step (b) for extruded reshaping of the semi-finished product to the fiber composite component. The extruded reshaping is performed at an operating temperature, and the first and the second matrix material are configured such that flowability of the second matrix material is higher than flowability of the first matrix material during the reshaping.

A system for repairing a component made out of a plastic comprises a frame, a multiaxial guide device coupled with the frame, with a tool holder arranged thereon, an optical acquisition device, a processing device, and a plastic deposition device. The frame comprises a mounting device for retaining the frame on a component surface. The optical acquisition device, the processing device and the plastic deposition device are arranged on the tool holder. The optical acquisition device is set up to optically inspect a surface area of the component lying in proximity to the frame from at least one viewing angle, so as to acquire the spatial structure of the surface area. The processing device is set up to remove material of a damaged area from the component for generating a base surface with a desired structure and boundary edges.
