Production process
1. Milling of the wooden core with a 5-axis CNC milling machine
2. Preparation of the vacuum infusion: Different layers of carbon fabric and flow mesh etc. as well as the wooden core are placed in the negative mold. The mold is closed, placed under vacuum, and heated by integrated heating elements.
3. Infusion process: RAKU® TOOL EI-2500 epoxy resin is measured out, the temperature checked and, if necessary, heated. Hardeners and various additives are added and mixed. The resin matrix is then infused into the component.
4. Tempering: The components are tempered in the oven to achieve the desired end properties such as a high glass transition temperature (Tg).
5. Finishing: milling – grinding – polishing
