    Abstract: A thin-walled mold and a method for manufacturing a part made of composite material, the material including reinforcing fibers and a polymer matrix, the method including the following consecutive steps: installing, in a matrix mounted on a press, a closed thin-walled mold in which reinforcing fibers have been arranged; closing the press; injecting a polymer or a reactive composition including at least one prepolymer, at least one monomer or a mixture thereof, in the molten state, into the closed thin-walled mold; keeping the press closed during all or part of the polymerisation of the polymer matrix when a reactive composition is used; opening the press and removing the thin-walled mold from the press, while maintaining a residual pressure of between 0.7 and 10 bar, preferably between 0.7 and 5 bar, inside the mold; and cooling the mold under said residual pressure.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component made of composite material whereby the said component is obtained from a preform containing local reinforcers and a first resin of low viscosity. The method includes: creation of the said preform comprising a first fibrous material and the said local reinforcers being in the form of reinforcers formed of a second fibrous material having fibres of mechanical strength greater than that of the fibres of the first fibrous material, so that they exhibit an elastic modulus or breaking stress at least 30% higher than that of the fibres of the said first fibrous material, the said second fibrous material being pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic, acrylic or polyamide polymer second resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) above 80° C., the amount of polymer second resin being comprised between 25% and 60% by volume with respect to the total volume of the said second fibrous material.
