The resin impregnation unit consists of a housing (2) with a suction outlet (3) for the resin beneath a metal grille (4) with upper (4a) and lower (4b) surfaces supported by the housing. The resin impregnation unit consists of a housing (2) with a suction outlet (3) for the resin beneath a metal grille (4) with upper (4a) and lower (4b) surfaces supported by the housing. The upper surface of the grille supports an assembly one or more stacked fibre layers (5a) under a sealed flexible cover (6) with an inlet (7) for the resin. The contact surface between the suction outlet and the lower surface of the grille is virtually identical to the projection surface formed by the layers of fibres. The upper surface of the grille is shaped to match the surface of the component being made by the resin impregnated fibres, with a separating film layer (8) between the two. The suction outlet is connected to the housing by an elastomer joint (12).
