A method for vacuum vibro-compression of mixes contained inside a mould, comprising the steps of: inserting a support with the mix inside the entry chamber (44) and closing the first gate (50); generating a given vacuum value inside the entry chamber (44) with the first gate (50) and the second gate (52) closed; opening the second gate (52) and inserting the support inside the bell (24) where a given vacuum value is already present; closing the second gate (52) and performing vacuum vibro-compression of the mix with the second and third gates (52, 54) closed; once vibro-compression has been completed, opening the third gate (52) and transferring the support into the exit chamber (46) where a given vacuum value is already present; closing the third gate (54), restoring the atmospheric pressure inside the exit chamber (46); opening the fourth gate (58) and di

A method of manufacturing a composite part having a curved or radiused corner to avoid wrinkling or bridging of outer-most composite plies during consolidation and cure, including laying up composite material on male or female tooling to form two flanges extending at a first angle relative each other and a curved or radiused corner extending between the two flanges. Then the method may include changing an orientation of one or both of the flanges of the composite material, such that the two flanges extend at a second included angle relative each other. The second included angle is smaller than the first angle. The method may also include a step of consolidating the composite material before, after, or during the step of changing the orientation of the composite material to the second angle, as well as a step of curing the composite material oriented at the second angle.
