A method of manufacturing and supplying a net-moulded article of expandable syntactic material and a related shipping package are provided. T he moulded article is formed at a manufacturing facility where the forming process can be controlled to ensure production of quality syntactic material articles. T he moulded article is formed by dispensing the material into a mould having a cavity wi th a shape matching that of a desired syntactic article to be used in an assembly at a point of use. The mould and moulded article are covered with a protective film to form a mould kit which is shipped to the point of use location. At the point of use location the moulded article is removed from the mould and preferably immediately positioned in t he assembly without significant cutting, trimming, forming or other labor intensive actions. Once positioned, the net-moulded article and the assembly are cured to integrate the moulded article with the assembly. |
