A compression molding assembly for molding a honeycomb core, including a plurality of cells defined by a plurality of walls, of a blocker door is provided. The compression molding assembly includes a ram plate comprising a plurality of openings defined therethrough and a plurality of core inserts coupled to the ram plate such that the plurality of core inserts are configured to form the honeycomb core of the blocker door. Each core insert is removably coupled with a respective opening of the plurality of openings such that each core insert is configured to form a respective cell of the plurality of cells. Un ensemble de moulage par compression est décrit pour le moulage dune âme en nid dabeilles, qui comprend plusieurs cellules définies par plusieurs parois, dun volet inverseur. Lensemble de moulage par compression comprend un coulisseau ayant plusieurs ouvertures et plusieurs plaquettes dâme raccordées au coulisseau, de sorte que les plaquettes soient configurées pour former lâme en nid dabeilles du volet inverseur. Chaque plaquette dâme est raccordée de manière amovible à une ouverture respective, de sorte que chaque plaquette soit configurée pour former une cellule respective.
