Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a resin injector and oil compactor used to manufacture composite components by RTM and FIP processes. A resin injector comprising an automated resin degassing and charging/discharging station and an in-line heat exchanger. An oil compactor capable of applying a dynamic compaction at a desired frequency, nominal pressure and temperature to an FIP mold. A multi-injection equipment for manufacturing composite parts by RTM and FIP is provided. The multi-injection equipment includes 1 or more cylinder injectors for delivery liquid resin into an RTM or FIP mold cavity. An oil compactor equipment to work with FIP is provided. The oil compactor contains an oil container and a heat exchanger to maintain the oil at a desired temperature. The pre-heated oil is injected into the FIP under pressure after the resin injection to fulfill the impregnation of the fibrous strengthener and consolidate the composite part.

Abstract: A method of injection molding a part made of composite material is provided. The method includes placing a preform in a mold; injecting a resin into the mold so as to impregnate the preform; unmolding the part after curing the resin; and subjecting the resin and the preform to pressure inside the mold while the resin is curing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of injection molding a part (1) made of composite material, the method consisting in placing a preform in a mold, in injecting a resin into the mold so as to impregnate the preform, and in unmolding the part (1) after curing the resin, the method being characterized in that it also consists in subjecting the resin and the preform to pressure inside the mold while the resin is curing, e.g. by injecting a gas under pressure into the mold via a plurality of points (2, 4, 5, 6).

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a mold assembly (32, 34) and a method of using the mold for the manufacture of composite parts which, more particularly, are generated from a strengthener in a generally solid phase and a matrix in a generally liquid phase. Various types of molds and processes may be used in order to impregnate a strengthener with a matrix such that a composite part may be manufactured, but the efficiency rate and the duration of the manufacturing process significantly varies depending on the chosen type of mold and process. The present invention relates to a mold assembly and to the manufacture of composites by using the mold assembly which includes the injection of the matrix in the mold assembly containing the strengthener and a deformable member (36) which favors the impregnation of the matrix toward the strengthener.
