METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING COMPOSITE PARTS

摘要

A composite fabrication apparatus (1) which may include a first tooling die (3) and a second tooling die (9) movable with respect to each other; a temperature control system (27) having induction coils (26) disposed in thermal contact with the first tooling die and the second tooling die; a first die susceptor (20) provided on the first tooling die and a second die susceptor (21) provided on the second tooling die and connected to the induction coils (26); and a cooling system (14) disposed in thermal contact with the first tooling die and the second tooling die. A resin transfer system (55) delivers resin from a resin source to the tooling dies to allow resin transfer molding. A composite fabrication method is also disclosed.
