Abstract
A curing tool assembly includes a curing tool and a compaction pressure chamber. The curing tool includes a tool surface to receive a dry fabric layup. The compaction pressure chamber overlays the dry fabric layup. The compaction pressure chamber receives a pressurized fluid from a compressed fluid source during resin infusion of the dry fabric layup. The pressurized fluid received at a compaction pressure above a standard atmosphere. A method includes applying a resin pressure above a standard atmosphere to a liquid resin in a liquid resin source; and flowing the liquid resin to a dry fabric layup on a tool surface of a curing tool in response to the resin pressure. The dry fabric layup enclosed in a sealed volume. A compaction pressure above the resin pressure. The liquid resin is infused into the dry fabric layup in response to the resin pressure and the compaction pressure.
