Hi, all:

I'm new in this forum and, as a basic user of carbon fiber since some years ago, I never knew how to answer to this question:

Being a prosthetist for many years, I had always to deal with the need of making sockets as light as possible but strong enough to undergo the weight of the person, which can go from a light weight 50 kg to a heavyweight 150!
How do I know how many layers of carbon should I use in a wet layout to be in the safe side?
Is there anything to help me?
If anyone has any experience on that part, I would like to hear from him.
Thanks and regards from boiling Portugal

There is just two ways to work this out.

Trial and error/experience/practice/guesstimation etc.

Or get a composite engineer to design your part, laminate or both.
