Abstract
The title of the invention is a system and method for manufacturing large corrugated parts from thermoplastic laminates. Disclosed herein are systems and methods for manufacturing parts. An example method includes heating a consolidated laminate to a heating temperature that is below a melting temperature of a thermoplastic resin to form a heated consolidated laminate, the consolidated laminate including a plurality of plies, each ply made of fibers embedded in the thermoplastic resin. The method further includes forcing the heated consolidated laminate against a corrugated forming surface of a mold until a shape of the heated consolidated laminate corresponds to a corrugated shape of the corrugated forming surface of the mold.
