How to Manufacture a Car Hood ( Drag Car) Resin Infusion Process

In this video, you ll learn how to manufacture a carbon fiber, epoxy hood produced with a resin infusion process. The light weight hood is designed for use with a Honda Civic Drag car. Resin Infusion is a process by which vacuum draws resin into a dry fiber laminate in a one sided mold. A rigid or flexible film membrane is placed over the top and sealed around the mold periphery. Resin infusion is considered a Closed Mold Process. The benefits of resin infusion when compared to nonvacuum bag curing of composite laminates include: Better fiber to Resin ratio Stronger laminate Low void content Reduce operator exposure to harmful emissions Reduce resin usage due to precompacted fabric Faster Ply layup For more info, please visit:
