Abstract

A caul for debulking a composite part broadly includes opposing first and second surfaces, a plurality of through-holes, and a coating. The first surface may have a curvature complementary to a shape of the composite part. The through-holes pass through the caul from the first surface to the second surface. The coating may be a chemically inert material to ensure the caul does not affect the composite part. The caul is configured to be positioned against the composite part for debulking. The caul may be made out of silicone rubber or any other suitable material and may be reusable.
