    Pressure vs Vacuum Compaction

    Hi Folks, Thanks for the questions... This would be an autoclave heated mold application. Consider (just for comparison) 150 psi pressure vs bell jar levels of vacuum. Just wondering which is more effective at compacting the pre-preg, especially into square corners. Thanks Again!

    Pressure vs Vacuum Compaction

    Good Morning All! Which method is superior for carbon fiber Pre-Preg Compaction? 1. Pressure bladder against steel mold or 2. Vacuum bag against steel mold Note: The steel mold contains some fine details, I really need the pre-preg to get forced into the corners. Thanks!
