    The document discusses the autoclave manufacturing process for composites. An autoclave is a closed vessel that cures prepreg composite materials (fibers preimpregnated with resin) under high temperature and pressure. Prepregs are placed in the autoclave where a temperature and pressure cycle is applied to fully cure the resin, producing high-quality composites with minimal voids and uniform bonding between layers. Key applications of autoclave-cured composites include aircraft components, marine vessels, military equipment, spacecraft, and missiles.
