A method for forming a laminate component, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing a tool (20) having a moulding surface; b) arranging a stack of ply layers on the moulding surface of the tool (20); and c) moulding the stack of ply layers over the moulding surface in a moulding process, wherein the tool (20) has a wrinkle control feature (21) in its moulding surface for managing the development of wrinkle in the ply layers during the moulding process, and wherein the wrinkle control feature (21) cooperates with the stack of ply layers during the moulding process to produce a local surface undulation in a nominal surface of the laminate component nearest the tool (20) to either prevent wrinkling in the ply layers or initiate wrinkling in one or more of the ply layers at a predetermined location. Also, a tool (20) having a wrinkle control feature (21), and a laminate component so formed. |
