Another great truly informative video, I've learned a lot from you guys in working with CF, previously it was trial and error for projects, they were only vanity items so strength wasn't important, just being made from CF for the appearance. I've made some panels recently using a sandwich of thin spread 12k on the outside for cosmetic appearance with 2x2 and unidirectional either side of a foam panel in the middle, surprisingly strong and stiff seeing as I'm still experimenting and learning. The panel was used as a support bracket for a self made bag which I hang on my Brompton bike to carry my laptop and lunch. I use techniques learned from you guys and other youtube videos and a s a rank amateur with no proper workshop facilities, the results are impressive and improving each time. Keep up the good work, I'm keen to learn more as are I'm sure other viewers.

@easycompositestv2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we do get quite a few questions on this subject but it is a really difficult one to deal with. In the bike frame video we explained how - even for really experienced composites engineers - a combination of previous experience, gut instinct, and trial and error is still probably the main starting point for most laminate schedules. Of course these things can be modelled and calculated in CAD but there are SO many obstacles that, unless you REALLY know what you're doing and have very reliable data - the real life performance of a component can be so far from the predicted performance as to render the CAD/FEA less useful than an *educated* guess. Having said all that, a video that does go a bit deeper into this subject would be great, just need to figure out what we could do or show that would actually be useful and useable for people!

Well, it could and should be but it's true that carbon fibre isn't always the best material for every application.
