Abstract

A method for fabricating and stabilizing three dimensional composite fabric preforms. The method comprises disposing a plurality of fabric plies between upper and lower templates that have substantially the desired preform shape and openings in at least two planes. The fabric plies are joined through the template openings and the templates are removed from the preform. These stabilized preforms maintain tighter tolerances.
