I'm not too sure how familiar you guys are with this but thought I'd ask whether anyone has attempted with that technique. As far as I know, this is done with chopped carbon fiber strands under high pressure. At least that's how Audemars Piguet does it with their watches. Recently, Lamborghini started using this method as well for their Sesto Elemento concept cars.  Does anybody have a clue whether this can be done in a home-based environment or you need hi-tech machinery?

Here are some pictures of the products

Hi, I found this topic now.
Are you sure that they use epoxy or other type thermoset resin?
I work in company that makes composite parts for airplanes (Airbus, Boeing and Dassault) as production engineer and we have development programs too. And for some application we can use forged carbon with thermoplastic resin. It is high tech thermoplastic polymer. It has better properties and performances in comparsion with epoxys... But it Is little bit heavier

The thermoplastic process might be a much higher temperature so makes it a step more difficult in general than epoxy thermosets, tooling and ovens etc. 200C??? Anyone?
