A method for manufacturing an acoustic attenuation structure including a complex acoustic multi-element panel extending along a horizontal and a vertical direction and an acoustic skin covering one of horizontal faces of the complex acoustic multi-element panel, the complex acoustic multi-element panel including complex acoustic elements each having a shape gradually narrowing between a base and a tip and partitions surrounding each complex acoustic element to form a plurality of acoustic cells, the partitions extending along the vertical direction from the base of the complex acoustic elements, the complex acoustic multi-element panel being produced by injection of a filled or unfilled thermoplastic or thermosetting material. The complex acoustic multi-element panel and the plurality of partitions are produced as a single part by injection of a filled or unfilled thermoplastic or thermosetting material.

An injection molding method and a deformable molding unit are provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a mold positioning step is performed to define a mold cavity. The step includes: providing a deformable molding unit on a first axis, the deformable molding unit having a deformable cavity and including a bottom portion and a first elastic portion being elastically deformable with respect to the bottom portion; and applying a first compression force to the first elastic portion by a first drive module along a second axis, reducing the size of the deformable cavity to a reduced dimension. Next, plastic is injected into the mold cavity including the deformable cavity with the reduced dimension to form a workpiece. Then, the first compression force is released, allowing the deformable cavity to return to its original dimension. Afterward, the deformable molding unit is retracted along the first axis.

Methods of compression resin transfer infusion are presented. A dry preform with a thermoplastic veil is placed onto a lower mold die. An upper mold die is placed over the lower mold die to create an infusion and cure tool having a sealed cavity holding the dry preform, the sealed cavity defining a gap, the gap corresponding to a cavity volume equivalent to an amount of resin to infuse the dry preform. Resin is injected into the gap of the sealed cavity while the infusion and cure tool is maintained at an infusion temperature. The upper mold die is lowered to infuse the dry preform to form a resin-infused preform. The resin-infused preform is cured within the infusion and cure tool to form a cured composite part, wherein curing occurs at a curing temperature higher than the infusion temperature.
