The present invention discloses a vacuum infusion system for infusing a fibre reinforcement with a resin comprising: a mould having a mould cavity comprising at least one moulding element for the reception of a fibre reinforcement, the system further comprising at least one counter mould comprising one or more flexible parts, each flexible part including at least one curved region for forming at least one curved region on the fibre reinforcement infused with resin; and a pressure applying configuration contributing to apply a pressure at least on the at least one curved region of the one or more flexible parts of the counter mould, to transmit a pressure to the at least one curved region of the fibre reinforcement infused with resin, said pressure applying configuration being configured for increasing the fibre volume ratio and/or reducing the void content of the composite moulded component.
