COMPOSITE MOULDING TECHNIQUES

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of moulding a component (1) having one or more features (5). At least one fibrous substrate (7) is located in a mould (31, 33). A matrix-forming material (29) is also provided in the mould (31, 33). Heat is applied to melt the matrix-forming material (29) to form a matrix (9) and to integrally mould said one or more features (5).

1. A method of molding a component having at least one feature, the method comprising:
locating at least one fibrous substrate in a mold, the at least one fibrous substrate comprising a substrate matrix-forming material and a plurality of fibers; providing a feature-forming material in the mold, the feature forming material comprising a feature matrix-forming material; and applying pressure to combine the substrate and feature matrix-forming materials to form a matrix and to integrally mold the at least one feature.
