To provide a method for the manufacture of rod-shaped components with one or more functional elements from a thermoplastic resin material, the length of the rod-shaped components being optionally variable, it is proposed that the method comprise the steps of producing in an extrusion process a blank having dimensions corresponding substantially to the rod-shaped component, and reshaping a portion of the blank to create a prescribed cross-sectional change by means of agglomeration of material in this portion, thereby to form the component with a functional element, the portion being heated prior to or during the reshaping to a reshaping temperature lying between the glass transition point and the melting point or softening point of the resin material. |
