Common workflow sequences used by composite builders. Selecting a lane auto-filters the shop to compatible fabrics, resins, and consumables.

Bike Repair
Workflow

Bike Repair

Repair cracked frame tubes, dropouts, and seatstays. Requires high-strength carbon twill, low-viscosity resin, and precision sanding.

Process Checklist:
  • Assess damage depth & sand borders
  • Layer carbon twill reinforcements
  • Wet-out with clear epoxy resin
  • Cure at room temperature & sand flush
Resin Infusion
Workflow

Resin Infusion

Distribute resin through dry reinforcements under vacuum pressure. Perfect for high fiber-to-resin ratio and zero void structures.

Process Checklist:
  • Lay dry fabric & flow media in mold
  • Apply vacuum bag and seal completely
  • Draw low-viscosity resin through inlets
  • Post-cure to achieve max temperature limits
Vacuum Bagging
Workflow

Vacuum Bagging

Consolidate hand layups using atmospheric pressure. Removes excess resin, eliminates voids, and provides uniform pressure over complex parts.

Process Checklist:
  • Prepare wet layup on tooling surface
  • Apply peel ply and breather layers
  • Seal bagging film with tacky tape
  • Apply vacuum source and monitor compaction
Cosmetic Carbon
Workflow

Cosmetic Carbon

Focus on visually perfect carbon fiber layups. Ideal for automotive trim, custom panels, and exterior styling overlays.

Process Checklist:
  • Choose premium 2x2 twill fabric
  • Handle weave carefully to avoid distortion
  • Utilize UV-stable high-clarity resin
  • Wet sand and clear coat for deep reflections
