Just now hearing about this, seems like a game changer for complex parts.

This needs to be submitted to the show "how its made"!

Completely agree! Have you seen the how it's made supercar series? They do some wicked stuff with carbon and other materials too.

You guys should see what koenigsegg is up to. There are some great interviews on the drive channel on YouTube about their processes.

They have carbon wheels for their car, pretty awesome stuff

I heard @Nate_D developed this method.

I could see Nate and @hink320 making these.

This has been around for awhile. There's tons of cool stuff going on with composites these days. There's a company developing a thermoplastic resin that is liquid at room temperature. Secondary processing of infused parts using thermoforming could be possible.

Sooooo your telling me they are using glue to glue things together

 

[Nate_D]

More like plastic that can be infused into a carbon laminate, once cured can be heated and reformed. But yeah, glue that can be used to glue stuff is basically what composites is all about. It's grown up paper mache

there is one that is pretty close on how they make composite brake rotors. i believe it was at a brembo facility.

I saw that one, its crazy to imagine what kinda stopping power those would have. I spent way to much time watching how its made videos last week... lol
