Composite component void repair

A method for repairing a void in a composite component, comprising:

• creating a flow path through the void, the flow path having a first opening on a first side of the composite component and a second opening on a second side of the composite component;
• filling the void and the flow path with a filler material;
• and
• processing the composite component having the filler material,
• wherein a first portion of the flow path extends at a first angle with respect to a lateral direction defined by the composite component, the first portion including the first opening, and
• wherein a second portion of the flow path extends at a second angle with respect to the lateral direction such that the flow path is defined at more than one angle with respect to the composite component, the second portion including the second opening.

A composite component, comprising:

• a first side;
• a second side;
• a void within the composite component;
• a flow path having a first opening on the first side and a second opening on the second side, the flow path extending through the void;
• and
• a filler material filling the void and the flow path,
• wherein the flow path comprises a first portion including the first opening and a second portion including the second opening, wherein the first portion and the second portion define a non-zero and non-straight angle therebetween.
