Abstract
An apparatus and method for manufacturing a composite is provided. A bottom release layer is disposed within a cavity of a volumetrically restraining body structure for supporting a cast material. An air bag is disposed between the bottom release layer and one or more surfaces of the volumetrically restraining body structure within the cavity. An air compressor connected to the air bag pressurizes the air bag. The pressurized air bag compresses the cast material against the bottom release layer. The resin inlets disposed on the cast material infuse resin into the cast material. A vacuum outlet insertably connected in the cavity of the volumetrically restraining body structure, in communication with the cast material, draws a vacuum through the cast material and draws the resin into the cast material. The compression of the cast material reduces excessive resin rich areas in the composite created from the resin infused cast material.
