Hi Guys,
I'm totally new to this, but this looks a great forum to find some help.
I'm looking to make a carbon fiber riser and limbs for my bow below. However I need some guidance in doing so, and what to do about the screw holes etc.
Anyway hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

The only information I've picked up on cf is just by watching the carbonmods youtube channel, so thats creating a mould, and how to apply the cf. However I'm still lost as to how you cf a solid object, most of the examples on the carbonmod channel are covers or shielding to things. I assume I would need to do the mould in two parts, and attach the two cf parts together? Any suggestions would be great

how you would need to make a solid object? make moulds to create a solid block out of CF (by adding many layeres on top of each other) then CNC-cut your part out of the solid picce of CF you've made...
I don't want to discourage you, but this is a very difficult project you want to make, with a lot of external factors like forces working onto it...to get everything right I'm sure companies are spending €$€ on research and
developement over a long term...
