Mouldless Carbon Fibre Technique for One-Off and Prototype Components
Project page for further info ►https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/learning/mouldless-composites-laminating
In this composites video tutorial we cover the simplest and lowest cost method for creating an original moulded carbon fibre (CFRP) component. To minimise materials and cost, the process avoids the need for a well-finished pattern or female mould by laminating the carbon fibre and resin directly onto a shaped XPS foam pattern. The carbon fibre is then overcoated with additional layers of epoxy resin before the surface is flatted and polished to a smooth finish. Once the surface is good, the polystyrene foam is removed from the inside of the component.
This method is not without its disadvantages but for prototypes and one-off components, especially where budgets or equipment are constrained - such as many school (Greenpower) and university race (Formula Student, Eco-Marathon etc.) teams - this method can yield acceptable quality components whilst minimising cost, waste and time.
Most of the tools and equipment used in the tutorial are available from Easy Composites and are listed on the video's Project Page in our Learning Area:
