I visited our in autoclave carbon fiber manufacturer today.
The skin, ribs, and mock-up mounting brackets for the SEW V2
A close up of where the sheets join at the center of the wing
The weave is not lined up because it takes a lot of time and care to do so, which adds to the cost. We can line it up if the customer wants, but it is an additional charge.
The CNC'd aluminum mold
Me and their big autoclave (I'm about 5'6" or 167 cm for reference)
There are not many other manufacturers that can do what our manufacturer does. They regularly do aerospace, military, and motorsport products. I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the military or aerospace stuff, but I was able to take a picture of the front end of a LMP1 car
We are proud to show off our engineering and manufacturing partners' capabilities. We don't try to hide it or tip-toe around it. I promise you, our products are not only engineered to strict standards, but our manufacturers are of the highest quality. This is why we can offer our 3 year warranty with motorsport included with confidence.
