Abstract

An example device (110) for forming a composite structure (100), the device includes a plurality of expandable pallets (112) having a forming surface (114) configured to receive thereon a laminated charge (116), each expandable pallet comprising a pair of pallet members (138a,b) interlocked with one another defining a recess (122) therebetween. The device also includes a die conveyor (118, 140) having a first end and a second end and having a plurality of die sections (120) configured to move progressively into the recess (122) defined by the each pair of pallet members of the plurality of expandable pallets (112) as the plurality of expandable pallets (112) are moved (204) at a translation rate and relative to the die conveyor (118, 140), wherein the first end of the die conveyor is offset from the forming surface of the plurality of expandable pallets by a first distance (D1) and the second end of the die conveyor is offset from the forming surface of the plurality of expandable pallets by a second distance (D2) and the first distance (D1) is greater than the second distance (D2) such that the die conveyor (118, 140) is configured to drive (206) the plurality of die sections (120) at an angle relative to the plurality of expandable pallets (112), and wherein the plurality of die sections (120) is configured to define a profile for imparting a shape on the laminated charge (116) into at least part of a shape of the composite structure (100).
