I would like to know if there is any particular method to know abt the thickness of the composite before curing. How do you calculate the amt of materials for getting a required thickness in Resin Infusion ?

When using woven materials under vacuum compaction, the fibre weight per layer corresponds very closely to the cured thickness. For example, a single layer of 200g woven carbon will provide roughly 0.2mm thickness, a 450g woven carbon will provide roughly 0.5mm thickness, a 650g carbon will provide roughly 0.7mm thickness, etc.

Only accurate for carbon tho. Glass is going to be thinner at the same surface weight, natural fibers are going to be thicker for a given surface weight.
