Original Abstract Submitted
The invention relates to a curing mold () for manufacturing a turbomachine component made of composite material from a preform (), comprising: —a first and a second body () defining an air gap receiving the preform; —at least one primary channel () arranged in the first and/or the second body; —an injection member () of a pressurized fluid in the primary channels; —at least one secondary channel (), in which a piston () slides, which delimits, on the one hand, a first chamber () in communication with the or a primary channel and, on the other hand, a second chamber () in communication with the air gap, and which is designed to compress thermosetting resin which has entered the second chamber from the preform in the air gap, so as to put the preform under hydrostatic pressure.
