Zusammenfassung:A conformable apparatus (100) for treating a composite material (110). The conformable apparatus (100) includes a contact layer (20) that is conformable and includes a plurality of contact elements (10). Each contact element (10) of the plurality of contact elements (10) includes a first major side (11), a second major side (12) opposed from said first major side (11), and at least one side surface (13) extending between said first major side (11) and said second major side (12). The contact layer (20) further includes a contact surface (21) at least partially defined by the first major sides (11) of the plurality of contact elements (10) and a backing surface (22) at least partially defined by the second major sides (12) of said plurality of contact elements (10). The conformable apparatus (100) also includes a backing layer (30) positioned against said backing surface (22) of said contact layer (20).
