-21- ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus is disclosed for rapidly laying up and curing complex shaped resin matrix composites by rotating an alterable male mold to wrap a plurality of continuous and intermittent layers of uncured laminate around the male mold when in a closed position; allowing the male mold to be moved into a female mold and to thereafter sever all layers on the male mold and articulate the male mold to an open position which shapes the upper regions of the composite thereafter transferring the resin matrix composite to a female mold which shapes the composite in a desired configuration and thereafter heat cures the composite lay-up material while being subjected to a vacuum. A second embodiment of the invention uses a non-rotatable male mold.
