For the forming of the metallic component comparatively high forces are required. However, only limited forces can be transmitted by the FRP, as this would lead to manufacturing failures. The FRP can be sheared off at the edges, or wrinkles of the sheet metal can be pressed into the soft FRP matrix. These difficulties can be resolved or weakened by means of suitable tools and temperature management. Another challenge in forming unidirectional fibre-reinforced plastics is a strongly anisotropic forming behaviour. The fibre layers cannot be stretched in the direction of the fibres. In contrast, perpendicular to the fibre direction the FRP can be formed comparatively easy due to inter-ply slip.
