<p>A composite material (23) is placed on a support surface (78), and a compaction frame (63) is positioned proximal to said support surface. The frame comprises a first compaction element (73) and a second compaction element (90), and a fluid actuator (79, 80, 82) is provided on the frame (63) to power said compaction elements. The fluid actuator is operative to cause the first compaction element to apply a first compaction force to said material, and to cause the second compaction element to apply a second compaction force to said material. <IMAGE></p> |
