			            No. The autoclave would be used during initial cure. It would by pressure, consolidate you stack more densely. Therefore less resin more fiber ratio and so a stronger part. What you can do is heat your cured laminate to 250f for an hour or so and the estimates I hear is a 20% strength increase can be had.
