A method of injection molding a part made of composite material is provided. The method includes placing a preform in a mold; injecting a resin into the mold so as to impregnate the preform; unmolding the part after curing the resin; and subjecting the resin and the preform to pressure inside the mold while the resin is curing.

Process for injection moulding a composite part

The present invention generally relates to a mold assembly () and a method of using the mold for the manufacture of composite parts which, more particularly, are generated from a strengthener in a generally solid phase and a matrix in a generally liquid phase. Various types of molds and processes may be used in order to impregnate a strengthener with a matrix such that a composite part may be manufactured, but the efficiency rate and the duration of the manufacturing process significantly varies depending on the chosen type of mold and process. The present invention relates to a mold assembly and to the manufacture of composites by using the mold assembly which includes the injection of the matrix in the mold assembly containing the strengthener and a deformable member () which favors the impregnation of the matrix toward the strengthener.
