  • Assembly of sub-components by compression molding
    Patent number: 11090876
    Abstract: A thermoplastic composite component assembly and method of manufacturing the thermoplastic composite component assembly is disclosed. The thermoplastic composite component assembly is manufactured by first performing a molding step to form individual assembly features as discrete assembly feature components, and separately forming a thermoplastic composite component using a first compression molding step. Then, a reprocessing step is performed where the discrete assembly feature components are integrated with the thermoplastic composite component using a second compression molding step. The reprocessing step essentially “welds” the discrete assembly feature components to the thermoplastic composite component at each of a plurality of desired assembly feature sites.
