Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for producing a moulded component, for example a component for an automobile, having at least two unidirectional fibre portions. The unidirectional fibre portions are joined together at nodal points in a first step to produce a network of unidirectional fibres with over-moulded nodal points. The network of unidirectional fibres with over-moulded nodal points is then placed in a large mould tool along with a second moulding material. The large mould tool is then closed to produce a part that comprises the network of unidirectional fibres embedded within the second moulding material.
