An apparatus for the forming of a lay-up of fiber composite material, in particular in the aerospace sector is provided. In this case, the apparatus has at least one forming tool, which has a surface contour corresponding to a desired geometry of the lay-up after the forming, and a tool carrier, to which the at least one forming tool is releasably fastened. From a further viewpoint, the invention makes available an apparatus with a modular structure, it then being possible for any desired forming tools to be combined with the tool carrier according to requirements. This leads in particular to less laborious handling, since it obviates the need for handling of the comparatively large tool carrier.

Apparatus for the forming of a lay-up of fibre composite material

The invention relates to a method for producing a fiber composite component, comprising the steps: introduction of a first body (), consisting of fibers and a matrix material, into a mold (), said first body () having a continuous first body edge (); the first body () is irradiated with microwaves () to produce a fiber-composite component. According to the invention, the first body () is introduced into the mold () in such a way that at least parts of the first body edge () are brought into contact with the mold ().
