The search led me nowhere.
Any input on how to get nice rolled edges on a part?
Does it require prepreg or can it be done with infusion?
I'm guessing it requires a curvature backward at the edge. That would mean the part might be locked into the mold once cured if it involves the entire perimeter of a part, thus needing a multipiece mold. Perhaps a removable flange portion that provides the rolled edge once mated with the actual perimeter flange?
another option could be a silicone based flexible perimeter that is one with the actual mold that would allow release without the need for more removable multipiece molds.
Any insight?
