Thanks for your content, I m just starting to use carbon and it helps in making design and application decisions thank you 🙏

So youre probably using infusion if ive learned anything from you? ;)
Also can you use recycled cf for this? Seems like the perfect use case for old wind turbines etc

What I can't kinda understand is how you avoid a grain/layers when using this method. Doesn't the direction that you stuff and press the fibers in affect this?

Super fascinating! What is the strength/stiffness of those forged tube connectors compared to say steel? Do you use any other forged carbon pieces in the plane?

You can use resin infusion for forged carbon? Interesting i didnt know that, you have any videos on the process?

I really want to learn more about making forged components but I've really struggled to find literally any resources about compression mold design or anything like that, especially when it comes to recreating more complex injection-moldings that may have undercuts, thin sections, or hollow areas.

What's the chance of flow lines resulting in parts with flaws when the chopped fibers don't interlink/overlap?

When making forged carbon fiber, besides vacuum packing it, do they put it in an auto clave or heat fix it?

[Irjdunn]

Are you making forged composites now in house?

[RavenRockMachine]

Where do you get your resin/ fibers from?

Did you know that is also how you make Carbon Fiber Submarines.. with Expired rolls of Carbon Fiber? We all know how that turns out.

[DanFrederiksen]

aren't those chopped dry fibers super dangerous?

you are not doing" forged " carbon at home without special tools. you may get the look but not the strength .
