  • Patent number: 12122106
    Abstract: Tooling for manufacture of an apertured element made of a composite material includes first and second sole plates and tooling elements. Each sole plate is configured to be placed on either side of the apertured element to be manufactured. The tooling elements are placed between the first and second sole plates. The tooling elements include at least one core and peripheral bars. The core is configured to delimit a cell of the apertured element to be manufactured. The core is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates. The peripheral bars are placed on a periphery of the core and configured to delimit the apertured element to be manufactured. At least one peripheral bar is movable in translation along the first and second sole plates.
