Abstract
A method of making a cold cured composite molded article utilizes a mold requiring pressure in only one dimension. The mold is filled with a composite material and closed. The mold is then inserted between two series of rollers, wherein the rollers are positioned at a specified distance from each other such that the proper amount of pressure is applied to the mold. The mold is propelled through the two series of rollers by motorizing at least some of the rollers. The cure time is controlled by controlling the speed at which the mold is propelled through the two series of rollers.
