Abstract

A system for forming a composite workpiece includes a housing, a forming tool disposed in the housing, and an actuator disposed in the housing. The system includes a shaping assembly including a lower diaphragm and an upper diaphragm. The system includes a negative pressure source in fluid communication with the housing. The workpiece is disposed between the lower diaphragm and the upper diaphragm of the shaping assembly. The shaping assembly is coupled to the housing over the forming tool such that the housing and the shaping assembly form a sealed vessel around the forming tool. The negative pressure source creates a negative pressure between the housing and the shaping assembly to urge the shaping assembly against the forming tool. The actuator selectively extends or retracts to control a shape of at least a portion of the shaping assembly while the shaping assembly is urged against the forming tool.
