The invention concerns a quick and inexpensive method for making parts of large dimensions, formed by a skin (10) and reinforcing elements (12, 16), such as an aircraft fuselage sections, in composite material with thermoplastic matrix. After the reinforcing elements have been manufactured separately by drape moulding, consolidating and forming, they are placed on an equipment (23) where the skin (10) is simultaneously manufactured and assembled with the reinforcing elements (12, 16) by diffusion welding. More precisely, the skin (10) is continuously draped and consolidated by the drape moulding head (36), such that the required part is directly obtained. |
