Hi everyone,

I'm about to graduate in engineering and decided to work with carbon fiber (mainly developing and producing bike parts), so I'm building my work room and would like to know some must have tools/equips to work with carbon fiber.

I have a vaccum pump, a resing catchpot, a degasing chamber, a small mill, a dremel rotary cutter, currently building an oven, but figured I could ask for some advice before building the whole work room, so I can put everything I need in it, willing to work mainly with prepreg and infusion.

So, what are the must have tools to work with carbon fiber?

Do not forget about painting - most visual carbon fiber parts need it (UV / humidity- water protection). So spray gun, compressor, and clean room with ventilation for painting .
