We demonstrate and evaluate a new process chain for the manufacturing of high-performance thermoplastic tubes with complex shapes. Therefore, innovative technologies for the processing of thermoplastic materials are combined to recommend an efficient process workflow that meets a variety of industrial requirements and thereby helps establishing lightweight composite solutions in the aerospace and automotive industry. This study describes and quantifies process-induced effects on laminate properties regarding fibre angle shear deformation and wall thickness variations as well as dimensional stability. The database for these effects is compiled by experimental bend-forming trials with tape-braided consolidated tubes and is evaluated by comparing experimental results to an analytical description of the materials process-specific deformation behaviour.
