Zusammenfassung:A method (600) for forming composite components includes disposing (610) composite laminate over a mandrel. The method further includes infusing (620) the composite laminate with a resin. A gelation of the infused resin is caused by applying (630) a first environmental condition to the composite laminate and mandrel. At least a portion of the mandrel is deformed by applying (640) a second environmental condition to the composite laminate and mandrel. The method further includes forming (650) a composite structure by curing the composite laminate infused with resin. The deformed mandrel is removed (660) from the composite structure after forming the composite structure.
