A controlled recipient evacuation process to form composite profiles from flat multi-angle prepreg stacks – infrastructure and C-profile verification

Single-diaphragm forming is a cost saving alternative to labor-intensive ply-by-ply layup. This paper reports on forming of flat uncured multi-angle prepreg stacks into C shape. The main focus is on the forming-process profile , which has attracted little attention in previous studies on the topic....
