Advanced composites are being used increasingly in the aerospace, and other industries, to reduce weight or improve component performance. A wide range of fabrication processes are available for composites manufacture, each of these has a unique mix of technical and economic features. An understanding of fabrication processes is essential if the designer is to generate cost-efficient design solutions. This paper seeks to present a framework within which fabrication techniques can be compared, via the definition of a hypothetical ideal fabrication process. Consideration of this ideal process enables us to identify the current limitations of four specific moulding processes. Finally development work is described, which was aimed at reducing the limitation of one process, resin transfer moulding, to broaden the opportunities for its cost-effective application.
