Carbon Fiber Material Preparation

Cutting, nesting, orientation and preform preparation establish the material package before lamination or moulding.

PROCESS 01

Cutting & nesting

Material is cut into planned shapes appropriate to the component geometry while nesting can improve repeatability and material use.

PROCESS 02

Ply orientation & weave alignment

Layer orientation follows the approved laminate specification. On visible-carbon components, placement also influences the visual direction of the exposed weave.

PROCESS 03

Preform preparation

Where the selected process uses preforms, prepared reinforcement is shaped and organised for placement into the production tool.

Fitment is part of the carbon-fiber specification.

The vehicle name alone is not enough for a custom composite order. The exact interfaces, finish direction and supplied component schedule should be confirmed before production.

OWNSILENT product scope

Customer-facing category, programme and supplied component definition.

OWNSILENT project image

Existing project or manufacturing media already held in the OWNSILENT library.

Visual description

A description of what is visibly shown without claiming an unsupported manufacturing step.

Fitment confirmation

Vehicle-specific details that require VIN, photos, mounting or interface review.

VIN & exact vehicle

Confirm model year, market specification, body style and current exterior configuration.

Current vehicle photos

Front, side, rear and the exact component area should be documented before quotation.

Material & finish

Dry carbon, forged-carbon appearance, exposed weave, painted zones and clear finish must be defined.

Interfaces

Confirm sensors, cameras, lamps, grilles, exhaust outlets, undertrays and adjacent panels.

Mounting & trial fit

Brackets, hardware, panel gaps and left/right alignment should be reviewed before final finishing.

Approved supplied scope

The final component schedule should state each supplied panel, trim piece, mesh, bracket and hardware item.
