Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/122840

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Apparatuses, devices, systems 1 and methods for resin transfer moulding of composite articles are disclosed. A mould enclosure enclosing a fibre pack (9) is provided and one or more resin ports (6a-6e) are provided along a resin flow path within the fibre pack (9). Resin ingress into the fibre pack(9) is controlled via valves (44a-44e) or a flow control mechanism (30), each being operable to impose a flow rate on resin passing into the fibre pack (9).
