Amazing level of explanation and detail regarding how to create a carbon fiber 3-piece mould. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for this video series. I must have watched these over 10 times when making my first pattern/mold/part

I appreciate the number of details that you give us (the viewing audience)!! Great Job! The quality that comes from taking the steps you recommend will be unmatched!

Wow, exellent tutorial. I have learned A LOT. Very good tips and tricks. These guys know their stuff !!

Using the rigid foam as a support when cutting with the Jigsaw (4:20) is a genius idea. So simple but it never occurred to me till I saw this! Way better than working off the end of the bench or trying to support on wood battens etc. Great videos and learning a lot, cheers!

Completely amazing. Incredible skill. People who have a hard time visualizing surfaces and positive and negative shapes might find this challenging. Ironically someone seriously into pattern making for clothing might be good at it. I suppose, if you wanted the smooth surface inside instead of outside, you could make a split part, say with a flange seam and screws, using two inside molds.

Amazing stuff and high videos quality, will probably watch all of them :) Big thanks from Canada.

I seriously can not thank you guys enough! You provide so much value in your content. Thank you!

Hi Brandon, no you definately won't have to wait a year for the next one. We're filming it at the moment. The great thing about prepreg is that we can make that airbox in about 20mins from start to finish so, even allowing for lots of filming delays, explaining and editting, it's still nothing like the time taken to make the pattern or the mould.

Thank you for bringing these things to people that on the internet want to do something but they dont know why. Also i bought from you materials and im happy. Thank you very much (this is Mindaugas)

@easycompositestv

It wouldn't really matter what the shape was; you should be able to apply this technique to make a multi-part mould for any shape or sized part. It's the technique and the understanding we try to give you, then you apply this process and understanding to your own projects. In terms of shape, this airbox is about as difficult as it gets, which is why we made it! Many moulds, even for much larger parts, would be simpler. Take a look on our forum where you'll see one of our customers has made split moulds for the entire tub of a Noble; it's all the same process. He then goes on to resin infuse the whole tub in carbon fibre. Username is Andycanam - search for Noble on talkcomposites.com

That was incredible! awesome video series thank you very much

Très bon travail.

great video.

Makes me realize how foolish my teen age dream had been of me making a custom fiberglass air box for my racing motorcycle back in the early 70's ...I had thought at the time "how hard could it be" I purchased some materials and found out early on that I was nowhere near capable of producing even the most crude example of what might work ...such is the frustration of visualising exactly what one needs but entirely lacking the expertise to even begin to get there ....And that was a part that in no way needed to be visually appealing !

Beautiful

It's art!

If you mould in a tyre valve somewhere on the pattern, you can use air pressure to separate the parts, instead of having to chisel them. (Beware of excessive pressure blowing them across the room, though.)

i really love like this videos

Guys!.. Great video, but.. when you design the part in 3D, and use that CAD software to make the profiles of the part.. you could also make the templates the same way, for the top template, the one you made first.. just project the curve on the centerplane, and use that as a guidecurve for a sweep of a thin part that you can then convert to a "Sheetmetal-part" and Unfold to a flat pattern.. that's all there is to it.. same goes for the other templates.. (Can't help it.. i'm a designer.. :) ) your video's are a great help, teaching me things i didn't yet know.. Just thougt of this.. why not place some "Wax-wedges" around the perimeter, so after curing and cutting the mould to size, you have some recesses to pry the mould open?

Any suggestions on how to release a stuck plug from a mould? I used your release agent and followed the instructions here but it's stuck solid. I've used air, a chisel and anything to hand.

Amazing how a pro can make it look easy, but if you try this a home kids it’ll probably take a half dozen projects to look “pro”. Thirty five years ago I made a fiberglass console. Man that was an aggravating experience. Wish I’d seen this back then.

There's certainly some skill and experience needed to get this sort of thing right first time but hopefully these tutorials give people the best chance to learn the process and build their skills.

I am planning to make a 2 part mould from a foam pattern for the casting of a ca. 35x55x5 cm lit for a tool case. Can these products you use here work with casting af PUR resin too?

Nice and clean work But the very lengthy process you have done, Especially making flanges .

Hi, great video series. I like it a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. One question: How do you ensure that the parts of the molds do not stick together at the bare edge where the fibreglass has open surface. The release agent won't help very much there on the rough glass. I'm considering developing a faired recumbent bike.

@easycompositestv

Жыл бұрын

Generally any slight sticking on the very edges can be trimmed off to allow access for a demoulding wedge to release the rest of the part.

Great videos, I have been working my way through them. Question, how come the parallel sides necessitate a 3 part mould?

@easycompositestv

9 жыл бұрын

In theory it should be possible if the angles are perfectly parallel to slide out the part. However you will be trying to release the part against friction, vacuum suction between the mould and part and sometimes the sides aren't perfect, hence what can be a struggle to release will just fall out the mould when made as a 3 part split mould.

Great vid I never thought about making my own carbon fibre products, question though at what point is an oven used in making carbon fibre? And could you do a video on making a car bumper as that would be very informative on mould making and hen the bagging and infusion as that's what I'm interested in making but no idea where to start, can't wait for part 3 of this vid

@easycompositestv

10 жыл бұрын

If and when oven is used is dependant on what process is used to make the part. The part to be made from this mould is to be made in out-of -autoclave pre-preg carbon fibre and as such is cured in an oven once the vacuum bagging process is complete. You can see this in part 3 of the video series here: How to Make Prepreg/Dry Carbon Fibre Parts (Carbon Fiber Airbox Pt. 3) In terms of making a bumper, we would probably recommend resin infusion as the ideal process. You can see a complete video series on making a bonnet/hood here: How to Make a Carbon Fiber Car Bonnet/Hood - Part 1/3 which shows all the techniques and processes you would need for pretty much any body panels on a car, including a simple bumper.

If ever you guys would like to do carbon fibre reinforcement of some 3D printed objects we at MEOE would love to help.

I'm interested in getting a fiberglass frame of a jet ski built. How much would something like that cost to have done professionally?
