In this composites video tutorial we revisit the topic of forged carbon fibre to take a more detailed look at CAD techniques and best-practices when designing your 3D printed compression moulds, and also provide more detail on increasing component strength with the addition of long-strand unidirectional carbon fibre into the chopped tow reinforcement.
