The invention relates to a method for producing components made of fiber composite materials, wherein at least one placeholder is introduced in a recess (26) in a moulding tool (24), the unfinished component is then created (4), the placeholder is removed (6), at least one lifting cushion is introduced (8) in the recess (26), and the unfinished component removed from the moulding tool (24) by inflating (10) the lifting cushion (20). In a system for producing components made of fiber composite materials, the demoulding process is monitored and controlled by a processor so as not to exceed specified maximum component loads. Consequential costs due to the repair or rework of the components can be prevented by the gentle demoulding process.
