Abstract

Polymer composite materials (PCM) are increasingly replacing traditional materials. New PCMs are constantly being developed, which are more economical and at the same time provide high-quality manufacturing of parts and structures from them. The infusion process has a well-established position among such processes as automated winding and automated prepreg lay-up followed by autoclaving. However, when using autoclave technology, there are restrictions on the dimensions of the molded parts, in addition, this method is quite expensive to operate. Therefore, the infusion process is increasingly used in the manufacture of parts in aircraft and shipbuilding, the construction industry, etc.
