METHOD OF MAKING A 3D OBJECT FROM COMPOSITE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention provides a method of producing an object made of a composite material said object being relatively strong and light weight and having a complex three-dimensional configuration. The method involves bonding a series of shaped sections of material each with a laminated face to form the object which when laminated, ties the internal and external laminations together to form an array of structural members. The method provides the added advantage that the object may be formed without using a mould.

1. A method of producing an object made of a composite material said object being relatively strong and light weight and having a complex three-dimensional configuration, said method comprising the steps of:
providing a plurality of appropriately shaped sections bonded together into the three-dimensional configuration, each section comprising a core material with a suitable laminated face extending to an edge thereof and said configuration having first and second surfaces incorporating said edges, wherein the sections by themselves provide rigidity to the nascent configuration when sequentially assembled; laminating or otherwise sealing said surfaces and edges; wherein said laminated faces form a series of structural webs connecting said first and second surfaces; and wherein the configuration is provided by the materials themselves without need of a mould.
