Tooling for manufacture of an apertured element made of a composite material includes first and second sole plates and tooling elements. Each sole plate is configured to be placed on either side of the apertured element to be manufactured. The tooling elements are placed between the first and second sole plates. The tooling elements include at least one core and peripheral bars. The core is configured to delimit a cell of the apertured element to be manufactured. The core is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates. The peripheral bars are placed on a periphery of the core and configured to delimit the apertured element to be manufactured. At least one peripheral bar is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates.

Tool for manufacturing openwork elements such as cascades for aircraft nacelles and method using such a tool

A thrust reverser cascade for an aircraft nacelle includes a plurality of blades having a first and a second surface, the blades being connected to members connected to attachment flanges for attaching the thrust reverser cascade to the nacelle. At least one of the surfaces of the blades is covered with at least one layer of fibers, each layer including a plurality of fiber pieces which are pre-impregnated with resin. The fiber pieces are superimposed on one another, positioned parallel to the aerodynamic surface of the blade and oriented in different directions.
