With out of autoclave pre-pregs getting better there is less need for an autoclave for almost all the work we as either small businesses or hobbyists do. The added strength given is not that great so adding one more layer or not making a part that is quite so structural is the compromise. How many meters of material would we need to use to make the cost of the autoclave worth while?
The one thing that does seem important is the ramp and dwell controller for OOA's. I know some get great results without one but having one does take out human error where the oven is concerned. Plus the cost of a controller is only a small one which could be paid for with one or two items that fail due to user error.
