Gravity feed resin delivery system for VARTM fabrication

A gravity feed resin delivery system for VARTM fabrication of a fiber-reinforced resin structure formed upon a mold surface. The system is provided with a resin source for dispensing catalyzed liquid resin. A resin manifold is disposed above the mold surface. The resin manifold has a manifold inlet port for receiving the resin from the resin source. The resin manifold further has a plurality of manifold outlet ports lengthwise distributed there along for draining resin therethrough. The system is further provided with a plurality of resin infusion lines which extend between the resin manifold to adjacent the mold surface. Each of the resin infusion lines are in fluid communication with a respective manifold outlet port for receiving resin drained therethrough.
