Abstract

See full text

A method is described for producing a blank (1) from a fiber layup (5) having an edge (3) forming a chamfer (2), wherein the fiber layup (5), which is suctioned onto a cutting support (6) of a cutting table (7), is cut through using a contour cut (17), which extends into the cutting support (6), along the intended contour (4) of the blank (1) and is provided with the chamfer (2) using a chamfer cut (16) running at a flat chamfer angle (α) along the intended contour (4). To provide advantageous production conditions, it is proposed that the fiber layup (5) is firstly precut by two cuts, which end above the cutting support (6) and run outside the intended cross section of the edge (3), namely a preliminary cut (10) running transversely to the fiber layup (5) along the contour region and a relief cut (11), which determines a processing allowance (15) to the chamfer (2), and then the chamfer (2) is cut using the chamfer cut (16), which ends outside the intended contour (4) in the fiber layup (5), before the intended contour (4) of the blank (1) is produced by the contour cut (17).
