How to Manufacture a Car Hood (Drag Car) - Resin Infusion Process

In this video, you'll learn how to manufacture a carbon fiber/epoxy hood produced with a resin infusion process. The light weight hood is designed for use with a Honda Civic Drag car.

Resin Infusion is a process by which vacuum draws resin into a dry fiber laminate in a one sided mold. A rigid or flexible film membrane is placed over the top and sealed around the mold periphery. Resin infusion is considered a “Closed Mold Process”.

The benefits of resin infusion when compared to non-vacuum bag curing of composite laminates include:
- Better fiber to Resin ratio
- Stronger laminate
- Low void content
- Reduce operator exposure to harmful emissions
- Reduce resin usage due to pre-compacted fabric - Faster Ply lay-up
