Abstract
An efficient method for manufacturing a partially cured composite component intended to be joined with other component or components to form a composite structure and a manufacturing method of the composite structure. The partial curing of a composite layup is achieved using a mold comprising heat conductive elements and insulating elements and applying heat and pressure over the mold. The heat conductive elements are used to transmit or dissipate heat to/from the composite layup. The insulating elements are used to prevent the transmission or dissipation of heat to/from the composite layup.
