Abstract: A method for manufacturing an article includes providing a plurality of flat sheets of fiber-reinforced polymer material. The method also includes forming the plurality of flat sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material into a plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material. Further, the method includes assembling the plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material in a tooling device to form an outer shape of the article. Moreover, the method includes securing each of the plurality of curved sheets of the fiber-reinforced polymer material together to form the article.

Abstract: A method for forming a structural tile for use in a composite panel includes providing a base plate of a compression mold assembly. The method also includes placing a grid structure mold of the compression mold assembly atop the base plate. The grid structure mold defines a cavity having a desired shape for a grid structure. Further, the method includes filling the cavity of the grid structure mold with a plurality of fragments of recycled fiber reinforced polymer material. Moreover, the method includes placing a cover plate of the compression mold assembly atop the grid structure mold to apply pressure to the grid structure mold. The method also includes applying heat to the cover plate to heat the plurality of fragments of recycled fiber reinforced polymer material such that the recycled fiber reinforced polymer material melts within the cavity. In addition, the method includes allowing the melted recycled fiber reinforced polymer material to cure to form the structural tile.
