A method of manufacturing a composite part, the method comprising: placin g a charge on a male tool having a convex surface region; debulking the char ge on the male tool by applying pressure to the charge, the applied pressure varying over the surface of the charge so as to be intensified where the ch arge engages the convex surface region of the male tool; and curing the char ge on a female tool having a concave surface region. The charge is formed an d debulked in a series of stages to form a laminate. The charge is formed at a first temperature T1; debulked at a second temperature T2; and cured at a third temperature T3, wherein T1<T2<T3. |
