The available pressure is significantly reduced, so


other means of evacuating air must be exploited

OUT-OF-
AUTOCLAVE

AUTOCLAVE

The pressure from the autoclave helps to consolidate


the composite lamina and collapse voids created
from entrapped gases.

The interface between the two parts may or


may not have an adhesive layer
