ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for molding composite articles can include a pair of opposed mold sections having first and second molding membranes that define a mold plenum. The mold sections have a thin-skin mold section configuration. Each mold section can be filled with a gas backing. The temperature of the mold plenum can be controlled by regulating the temperature of the gas backing.
