Brightened composite shell and making the same by moulding

摘要

A method for fabricating a brightened composite shell includes step of (a): providing an uncured composite material on a surface of a metallic mold; step (b): curing the composite material by vacuum molding to form a consolidated composite embryo via the vacuum molding process; and step (c): machining the cured composite embryo so as to fabricate the final brightened shell shape. The composite material is in laminated form and comprises a prepreg of matrix resin and fibres wherein, the weight ratio of the matrix resin in the composite is 30% to 60%. The present invention employs non-painting method and provides a brightened composite shell having a smooth and stereo surface without blisters and pin-holes being generated thereon.
