Method of curing composite parts

A method of curing fiber reinforced resin matrix composite materials, comprising the steps of:

• providing a form;
• positioning uncured composite material on said form substantially into a desired shape;
• and
• curing said composite material by:
• providing a fluid bath heated to a predetermined temperature in a U-tube, said U-tube having first and second open ends;
• providing a conveyor and using said conveyor to move said positioned composite material on said form through said fluid bath along a path from said first end to said second end, said conveyor moving at a predetermined rate to allow said positioned composite material on said form to be immersed in said fluid bath for a predetermined time;
• said predetermined time being sufficient to allow said composite material to become cured, and said composite material being heated at a rate sufficient to provide resin flow prior to said composite material becoming cured;
• and
• providing compressive pressure on said composite material while in said fluid bath.
