Abstract:
1. A method of carving a contour surface on a composite core, the method comprising: positioning a first edge of the composite core against a first tooled member; locating a first magnet within an outer cell member along the first edge of the composite core so that the first edge of the composite core is magnetically drawn to the first tooled member; locating a second magnet along a second edge of the composite core such that the second edge of the composite core is magnetically drawn to a second tooled member; and carving a first contour of a surface network of the composite core while the composite core is releasably secured to the first tooled member and the second tooled member with the first magnet and the second magnet, such that the first contour is carved while the composite core is in a tooled position that is indicative of a final desired contour in a composite structure.
