Good question, I thought they just vacuum bagged it as done with fiberglass cloth.

The Joint Strike Fighter F-35 program I saw on PBS several years ago featured the two finalist being prototypes being made. The top wing section of one of the planes was a large single piece of CF which had to be autoclaved. They had several mishaps and were leaning something new with every failure.

An invention a day is how they put it.
