PRESSURE BAG MOLDING
Pressure bag molding is similar to the vacuum bag molding
method except that air pressure, usually 30 to 50 psi, is
applied to a rubber bag, or sheet that covers the laid up
composite to force out entrapped air and excess resin.
Pressurized steam may be used instead, to accelerate the
cure. Cores and inserts can be used with the process, and
undercuts are practical, but only female and split molds
can be used to make items such as tanks, containers, and
wind turbine blades.
