Zusammenfassung:	An example method of forming a composite structure includes applying a laminated charge onto an expandable pallet, moving the expandable pallet in a linear motion relative to a plurality of rollers, and progressively urging the laminated charge into a continuously expanding recess defined by the expandable pallet using the plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers are oriented in a serial configuration so as to shape the laminated charge into at least part of a shape of the composite structure.
