...Thomas W. Secord; Susan C. Mantell; Kim A. Stelson In thermosetting composite manufacturing, part thickness, mold temperature, pressure, and resin kinetics can affect the uniformity of cure in the finished part. If the interaction of these parameters is not accounted for, then unwanted overshoot...

... for the generation of components with intricate geometry and small size. Instead of the continuous feed of chopped fibers as employed in the DFP, P4, P4A, or F3P processes, fiber deposition from this device is discrete and discontinuous. The development of automated composite manufacturing processes remains...
