Abstract: A system and method is provided for manufacturing a composite structure. In an exemplary aspect, the system includes multiple flexible tooling plates that are interlocked to each other to form a tooling surface for forming a composite structure to be manufactured. Moreover, the system includes an actuator array connected to the flexible plates and that can move the flexible plates relative to each other to adjust a contour of the tooling surface to correspond to a design contour of the composite structure to be manufactured.

Abstract: One aspect is an apparatus including a node having a socket configured to receive a component and a detachable additively manufactured nozzle co-printed with the node and arranged for adhesive injection between the component and the socket. Another aspect is an additively manufactured apparatus including a first additively manufactured component having an area configured to receive a second additively manufactured component. The first component includes an adhesive channel for injecting adhesive into the area when the second component is being connected to the first component. Another aspect is an apparatus including a plurality of additively manufactured components each having an adhesive injection channel. The components are connected together such that adhesive injection channels are aligned to form an adhesive path that allows adhesive flow between the components.
