Abstract
An internally heated and pressurized system for fabricating a composite laminate structure and method for use thereof is disclosed. One of a plurality of thin, thermally conductive bond tools, prepreg fiber reinforced composite layers, and a pressure applying membrane are nested within a heated base, and then covered by a pressure sealed cover. The system is pressurized through the pressure sealed cover. The pressure causes the pressure applying membrane to force the prepreg fiber reinforced composite layers onto the upper surface of the bond tool. The heated base transfers heat to the composite layers via the bond tool, which heats and cures the composite layers together and to a shape determined by the upper surface of the bond tool. Each bond tool is formed with a generic lower surface for nesting within the heated base and an upper surface for forming composite layers into the shape of a specific part.
