Abstract
Disclosed systems and tooling for manufacturing flanged ducts may improve upon prior art manufacturing techniques, such as by increasing ease of manufacturing and/or quality of resulting parts formed by the systems and tooling. One example of tooling includes a first tool piece that may be coupled to a base, and a second tool piece that is selectively coupled to and removable from the first tool piece. When positioned together in a closed position, the first tool piece and second tool piece form a composite material-receiving surface and a flange surface on which composite material may be placed and cured in order to form a composite part, such as a flanged duct. Such tooling may allow for placement of composite material over a male radius of the tooling, thereby improving ergonomics of the manufacturing process, as compared to attempting to place composite material into a female radius of prior art tooling.
