A method of progressively moulding and curing/homogenising a composite material component assembly comprising a skin panel and a series of spaced structurally reinforcing members therefor is provided. The method includes the steps of placing a composite material layer (18) on support means (13), clamping same to the support means by moulding means comprising first and second tools (14/16), the second tool being separated from the first tool by a pre-determined amount, slidably moving the second tool (16) towards the first tool (14) to cause the material to fold in an upwards direction until clamped between datum faces (15, 17) of the tools to define the structural member, heating the support means (13) and tools (14, 16) to cure/homogenise the skin panel and structural members, then slidably moving the component along the support means (13) a pre-determined amount to draw a further quantity of composite material layer (18) from source and repositioning the moulding means (14, 16) for further processing of the material. <IMAGE>
