In this composites training video, we demonstrate how accurate high temperature carbon fibre moulds, suitable for prepreg part production, can be produced using the resin infusion process. Advantages to this process include reduced material costs compared to tooling prepregs, compatibility with a wide range of pattern materials, and the possibility of an ambient temperature initial cure for maximum dimensional accuracy.
