High Pressure Rapid Curing Systems for Out-of Autoclave Composites Manufacturing (Patents Pending)

0-350 psi pressure

Integrated rapid heating cooling, vacuum, and automated tool and materials handling

17 minute and less part-to-part cycle time on thermoset epoxy prepreg

Reduced tooling requirement

Reduced scrap rates for interrupted cure cycles

Flexibility in manufacturing

Lower energy costs

Reduced processing time

A thermal processing and consolidation system and method

Heating, cooling, pressure, and vacuum all independently controlled according to a set of process parameters

Processes the same materials and resin systems designed to be processed in an autoclave.

System size optimized for the tool size.

1 minute tool exchange time
