  • Publication number: 20200215769
    Abstract: A method for producing a part by injecting resin into a woven fiber preform includes the steps of (a) shaping the preform, (b) forming the preform, and (c) injecting resin into the preform. The step of injecting resin into the preform is carried out by means of equipment that includes a mold, a countermold, and resin injecting means. The step of injecting resin into the preform includes the substeps of: partially opening the equipment, injecting resin into the equipment, closing the equipment, and pressurizing and heating the impregnated preform between the mold and the countermold.

  • Publication number: 20190232530
    Abstract: A method for impregnating a fibrous preform by injection or infusion, the method including the steps of providing a mold having at least two portions, said mold presenting an inlet orifice and a vent orifice placed on opposite sides of the mold; placing a fibrous preform in a portion of the mold; placing a seal in a passage formed between an inside wall of the mold and the fibrous preform, said passage extending substantially along the direction extending between the opposite sides of the mold; closing the mold so that the two portions of the mold co-operate with the seal in such a manner as to shut off said passage; and impregnating the fibrous preform with an impregnation material.
