Modern aerospace owes much of its composite revolution to thermosets. Carbon fiber pre-impregnated with resin is laid up by hand or robot and cured for hours in an autoclave under heat and pressure.

The autoclave has long defined thermoset composites processing — snap-cure epoxy prepreg systems are built around the premise that it doesn't have to. Building systems are evolving. Increasing ...
