Abstract

A method of producing a composite panel member, especially a composite panel member having a foam core sandwich structure for an airframe of an aircraft or spacecraft, including: providing at least one fiber reinforcement layer in a panel molding tool; moving or transferring the molding tool to an infusion station that is pre-heated to an infusion temperature and infusing the fiber reinforcement layer in the molding tool with a polymer resin; moving or transferring the molding tool to a curing station that is pre-heated to a curing temperature and curing the at least one resin-infused fiber reinforcement layer in the molding tool to form a composite panel member; and moving or transferring the molding tool to a cooling station that is provided at a cooling temperature and cooling the composite panel member in the molding tool.
