ABSTRACT:
A method of progressively molding and curing/homogenising a composite material component assembly including a skin panel and a series of spaced structurally reinforcing members therefor. The method includes the steps of placing a composite material layer (18) on support (13), clamping same to the support by a mold including first and second tools (14/16), the second tool being separated from the first tool by a pre-determined amount, slidably moving the second tool (16) towards the first tool (14) to cause the material to fold in an upwards direction until clamped between datum faces (15, 17) of the tools to define the structural member, heating the support (13) and tools (14, 16) to cure/homogenise the skin panel and structural members, then slidably moving the component along the support (13) a pre-determined amount to draw a further quantity of composite material layer (18) from a source and repositioning the tools (14, 16) for further processing of the material.
