Method of forming composite components such as aircraft stringers and the like, and tooling used to form the same. The method includes stacking plies on a forming tool and conveying the plies and the forming tool through a pressure vessel. The pressure vessel includes an entrance opening and an exit opening, which are sized and shaped to permit a forming tool supporting a plurality of plies to pass through the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel includes an interior chamber housing multiple spheres. The spheres press against the plies as the forming tool is conveyed through the pressure vessel, thereby pressure treating the plies and forming the composite part.
