Dear All, I need to manufacture thick plates in Carbon fiber composite, 80 mm thickness, 40 mm width, 380 mm length. I would like to make them by hand layup, taking care of work by layers to avoid the exothermy bend or twist the plates. I am right?. Those plates will be then mechanized to make a kind of banana shape. I have epoxy lamination resin, so could I use it?
Attached are two pictures. 1.jpg is the final shape to obtain assembling the mechanized pieces, and 2.jpg is the profile to obtain once mechanized the thick plate.


your suggestions are welcome!

yes, not all parts are equal, but for this shape, the adjectives I used are almost universally valid. especially when you can make such a mold for like 15€. the only thing I can think of, why it should be done this way would be the surface optics. but usually machined carbon isnn't an eye catcher.
If you, for whatever reason, want to try it shaped  of a carbon block, I would simply buy a carbon plate, cut it into stripes, and then glue them together. this will give you a much more uniform thickness, and less voids, compared to hand laminating. if you just glue stripes on, where material is needed, it would be much cheaper, too. and your cc time will come down.
