Embodiments of a method to fabricate complex structures include making a pre-cured laminate template. The laminate template is first cured to the required shape, then surface prepared for joining to additional composite lamina. The laminate templates are used to position composite lamina in contact with one another. The composite lamina are then co-cured together to form one monolithic composite structure lacking bond lines or bonded joints. The laminate template supports additional composite lamina for formation of complex structures and replaces template tools from conventional methods.
