Abstract

A method of fabricating a sandwich structure consisting of a compliant sheet and a rigid sheet, the sheets being separated by a core. The compliant sheet is adapted to conform to the shape of the rigid sheet and the irregularities of the core through the utilization of the compliant sheet as an integral part of the tooling to provide a self-contained vacuum bag, wherein the compliant sheet is caused to be formed into intimate contact with the core.
