Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of fabrication used in conjunction with simplified fabrication process such as sheet cutting or additive material manufacturing which can cure many deficiencies of laminar bonding or assembly processes including curing of micro-voids or delamination between layers of a component, as well as enabling the combination of components to form a more complex assembly. This method includes the steps of: providing a first component having been formed of a plurality of planar layers; providing a compaction vessel; providing a granular support medium to the interior of the compaction vessel; placing the first component into the granular support medium within the compaction vessel so as to fully encompass the first component or component assembly; heating the granular support and the primary component within the compaction vessel; and applying a compaction force so as to bond or re-fuse the planar layers together.
