i am still new at vacuum. so it might be a stupid question, but still. Smile
 
is there a difference in structural properties and rigidity in finished part between wet layup in vacuum bag and infusion.
so the question is quality of product, not just appearance and optical Finnish.

You´re welcome !

Infussing UD is diferent, as flow speed must be good on the fabric´s direction, but very bad at 90, I assume.

Very often,UD are very flat and tight. That can make "vertical flow" more complicate.

(I´m guessing, I´ve only infused woven roving and CSM )
