Ceramic Matrix Composite Hand Layup

My part is low rate or large enough that automation does not pay. Who lays it up by hand and cures it?

Placing plies into a mold by hand to a defined ply schedule, then bagging and curing. Labor intensive but unbeatable on tooling cost at low volume and complex geometry.
