Abstract
A method and system for fabricating a composite structure is provided. At least a first layer of reinforcement material is placed on a surface of a tool. At least a first layer of veil material is then wrapped around the first layer of reinforcement material while the first layer of reinforcement material is positioned on the tool to produce a first reinforced ply.
Claims21
A method of fabricating a composite structure, said method comprising:
- placing at least a first layer of reinforcement material on a surface of a tool;
- and
- wrapping at least a first layer of veil material around the first layer of reinforcement material while the first layer of reinforcement material is positioned on the tool to produce a first reinforced ply.
A system for fabricating a composite structure, said system comprising:
- a tool having a surface for supporting at least a first layer of reinforcement material placed on the tool surface;
- and
- a wrapping device configured to wrap at least a first layer of veil material around the first layer of reinforcement material while the first layer of reinforcement material is positioned on the tool to produce a first reinforced ply.
A composite structure:
- at least a first layer of reinforcement material shaped by a surface of a tool;
- and
- at least a first layer of veil material wrapped around the shaped first layer of reinforcement material, the first layer of reinforcement material having the wrapped first layer of veil material forming a first reinforced ply,
- wherein resin is added to the first reinforced ply to form a injected composite layup that forms the composite structure after curing the resin.
