Abstract
A method of processing a composite structure includes a step of positioning a first processing tool of a tooling assembly and a second processing-tool of the tooling assembly from an open position, in which the first processing-tool and the second processing-tool are spaced apart, to a closed position, in which the first processing-tool and the second processing-tool are sealed to each other and are sealed to a mandrel-tool, supporting the composite structure, to form a vessel that surrounds the composite structure. The method also includes a step of processing the composite structure.
