N2 - The article deals with the development of a production process for manufacturing functionalized, continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic hollow profile components. The developed production process aims at reducing the cycle times in manufacturing hollow profile components and at reducing the component cost in high-volume production. It is based on a separation of the continuous semifinished product and the discontinuous component production processes. The article explains in detail the five main process steps required to produce the components, namely sealing, heating, forming, final cutting and functionalization. The experimental tests of this article focus on the main process step of forming. This step is based on a hollow profile semi-finished product made of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic in a continuous pultrusion procedure. The glass or carbon fiber reinforced semi-finished product is formed into a demonstrator component geometry via internal pressure in a newly developed test facility. The error patterns of the compent that typically occur in forming the semi-finished product are presented and their causes analyzed.
