Carbon Fiber Prototype Development
Turning carbon fiber designs into validated, production-ready prototypes.
Rapid Prototype Builds
Controlled layup and curing from day one.
Layup sequence defined early
Ply orientation verified on-tool
Autoclave or hot-press parameters
Tooling Options
Soft molds to pre-production tools.
Soft molds for fast iteration
Composite/aluminum for functional builds
Pre-production tools for pilot runs
Prototype Validation
Functional checks beyond surface finish.
Weight and stiffness targets
Fitment and assembly interfaces
Cosmetic quality inspection
When Does a Carbon Fiber Project Need Prototyping?
New carbon fiber part with unvalidated geometry
Tight weight or stiffness targets
Cosmetic surface requirements
Transitioning from design to production tooling
Our Prototype Development Workflow
From design validation to functional prototype readiness
STEP 01 — Design & DFM Review
Evaluate geometry, load paths, and manufacturability before tooling.
STEP 02 — Tooling Strategy Selection
Select soft molds, CNC tools, or pre-production tooling based on project goals.
STEP 03 — Prototype Build & Curing
Execute controlled layup, curing cycles, and material validation.
STEP 04 — Validation & Design Feedback
Test stiffness, weight, fitment, and refine the design for next iteration.
Prototype vs Production — What to Expect
Prototype focuses on validation
Production focuses on consistency & cost
Not all prototype tools are production tools
Prototype decisions influence production success
Prototype → Production
How Prototype Fits into the Full Development Process
Concept definition, surface development, and design intent creation
→ Feeds design intent into prototype feasibility
Structural logic, material strategy, and manufacturability validation
→ Defines how the prototype should be built
Prototype Development ( Current Stage )
Validated builds with controlled layup, tooling, and curing parameters.
→ Bridges design intent with production reality.
Production tooling transfer, process locking, and quality consistency control
→ Scales validated prototypes into stable, repeatable production
