CONFORMABLE TOOLING SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPLEX CONTOUR COMPOSITE PREFORMS
A preform tooling arrangement includes a base plate comprising a male die surface and a stripper plate comprising a female die surface. A plurality of perforations are disposed in the base plate and/or the stripper plate. The stripper plate is moveable with respect to the base plate. The preform tooling arrangement is configured to receive a fibrous preform between the male die surface and the female die surface. The preform tooling arrangement is a dual-purpose fixture configured to accommodate z-needling and densification, all while the fibrous preform remains in the same fixture (i.e., the preform tooling arrangement). The perforations are configured to receive one or more textile needles for through thickness reinforcement of the fibrous preform.
