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?

Ive worked with the smc /bmc material that is being floated around as forged carbon. Ive used a few different types from quantum hexcel and another company.
Its usually an epoxy resin system cured around 150 degrees.
The thermoplastic sheets also known as organo sheets are usually pei or pps and require a forming temp of around 350degrees celsius. We use steel tooling for this as ali tools move about to much due to the expansion.
