Round Polishing Wheel
When making carbon composite through lamination, is there a way to obtain smooth end product without polish?
One of my friends owns a small factory that makes carbon fiber bicycle wheels. I did not actually see the process but from what he described it's pretty standard: he lays the carbon fiber impreged with epoxy into the mold, seal and vacuum press it to form the part. Now since the finished parts have bubbles on the surface he'll need to sand and polish the surface to make it look good. Since he outsourced this part it is expensive and time consuming, and sometimes takes more than one round. Is there a way to avoid this final step?
The only way I can see would be to form the mold better. The reason he's getting bubbles on the surface is probably because the mold or the original that the mold was made from had bubbles. My guess would be that if you formed the mold from a finished piece and used a high quality mold making material that wasn't porous, you wouldn't have the bubbles in the first place.
