There are many methods that can be used to create a carbon fibre part. The technique you choose will depend on factors including, size of part, complexity particularly if there are any undercuts, strength requirements, type of carbon fibre sheet used, intended use of part.
Here we see a simple part created in a step by step picture story. This part was used as a structural support part in a beam in a performance yacht. Notice in image one that the layers of carbon fibre are laid in a sequence so that the direction of fibre is alternating from the previous layer, this adds strength. The CF sheet weight we used here is 400 grams per square meter. Once we finished layering the carbon fibre we bound it together with rubber elastic and masking tape and let it set at room temperature.
