Abstract
A method for manufacturing a composite component includes providing a tool switchable between a deposition configuration and a flange-forming configuration. The tool includes a first portion including a first deposition surface, a second portion including a second deposition surface and a pre-form support surface, and a flange-forming block including a curved surface. The method further includes depositing a composite material at least partially on each of the first deposition surface and the second deposition surface in the deposition configuration to provide a composite pre-form. The method further includes moving the second portion relative to the first portion to transition the tool to the flange-forming configuration, which causes the composite pre-form to at least partially engage each of the pre-form support surface and the curved surface. The curved surface defines a radius of a flange of the composite component.
