im quite new to composites and ive been trying find some information on oven curing, ive made some carbon fiber bits with resin infusion (everything purchased from easy composites) and letting it cure for 24+hours. 
im planning to purchase a curing oven.

"Many resin systems used in components or composite tooling do not achieve their full mechanical properties without an elevated temperature post-cure"

few questions:

1) Can someone explain what "full mechanical properties" consists of? is it durability, flexibility, strength? how much does it differ from room temp curing? 
2) am i right in thinking, once the resin has infused through the bag, i clamp off the lines and put the whole thing into the curing oven?
3) does the curing oven reduce the overall curing time, and therefore making production faster/efficient ? 

thanks
