Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for fabricating composite parts that include both chopped fiber and continuous fiber components. One embodiment is a method that includes laying up a laminate comprising at least one ply of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer onto a first surface of a mold, filling a cavity of the mold with chopped fibers and resin that contact the laminate, curing the chopped fibers and the laminate together into an integral composite part, and separating the integral composite part from the mold.

Claim (Index 19):
A manufacture comprising:\n a composite part comprising:\n at least one planar layer of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer disposed at an exterior surface of the composite part; and \n a mass of chopped fibers that are randomly oriented with respect to each other along all three axes, \n the mass of chopped fibers is co-cured to the at least one planar layer of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer internal to the composite part.
