Molding a Mask with Forged Carbon Fiber Fabric

Forged carbon fiber fabric is easy to work with and has a distinctive bold pattern not possible with other methods. It can be pieced together as needed for complex shapes and the seam lines will disappear into the random marbled pattern. TURN ON CAPTIONS FOR DETAILS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

1:44 Fiberglass and epoxy mold made from a 3d printed mask.
8:56 Cutting forged carbon fiber fabric with rotary cutter. Template includes multiple relief cuts and separate parts since the join lines will be invisible after laminating.
10:51 Placing forged carbon fiber fabric into mold with epoxy resin. Additional relief cuts added as needed to fit mold (invisible in final part). A woven twill carbon fiber backing is added for strength. Part cured in a vacuum bag.
12:45 Removing release fabric from cured part and popping mask out of mold.
