Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for consolidating a thermoplastic composite component in situ within a thermoplastic composite deposition cell by means of heat and pressure. Heat may be applied to the thermoplastic composite component by means of an induction coil. Pressure may be applied to the thermoplastic composite component by means of a pressure applicator. An independent means may be provided for reacting at least a portion of the force directed to the pressure applicator. Consolidation may be performed in parallel with deposition within the same work cell.
