The application discloses a low-cost soft mold manufacturing method applicable to a T-shaped rib reinforced
skin structure, and comprises the following steps: adopting an isolation film and a vacuum bag to integrally encapsulate a laminated plate
skin blank body, a T-shaped rib blank body and a T-shaped soft mold on a forming tool; adopting a
hot press tank to perform co-curing forming of a "wet" state laminated plate
skin and a "wet" state T-shaped rib according to the curing requirements allowed by the material specification of carbon
fiber prepreg, and obtaining the T-shaped rib reinforced
skin structure; the application has the beneficial effects that: through the structure splitting of step S1, the customization of special tooling (a forming tool, a T-shaped rib pre-compaction tool and a soft mold forming tool), the accurate positioning and cooperation of step S4 and the co-curing forming of the "wet" state laminated plate skin and the "wet" state T-shaped rib of step S6, the defects of poor adaptability of the T-shaped rib to the skin, easy interference of R angles, easy wrinkling of edges and the need of post-
grinding in the traditional gluing process are effectively solved.
