Carbon fibre fabrication of the Rodin FZED Data Logger and PDU Mounts

Come on a journey with two of our Composite Technicians at Rodin Cars as we take you through two of the carbon fibre methods that are used to manufacture individuals parts on the Rodin FZED and FZERO. In this video Jamie and Jacob will give you a little insight into how the FZED Data Logger Mount and the PDU Mount are fabricated.
Jamie explains how the Infusion Method uses dry fibres laid into a mould, put under vacuum, and are infused with resin. Whereas, Jacob talks us through the Pre-preg Carbon Fibre Method, which involves cutting the pre-preg carbon fibres out on the table cutter, laying the pre-pregs into the mould, vacuuming the mould, and then putting the piece into the autoclave where it is baked under high temperature and high pressure to complete the final product.

Couldn’t want a better team!

Crazy how much science is behind it. Really interesting stuff 👍

[@RodinCars]

There’s so much more science that goes into the FZED and FZERO still to explore and share!

For weight reduction try doing some parts less layers. You could reduce weight in some parts. That wouldn't make a difference to the structure strength. .
