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

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?

Yeh I've played around with thermoplastics, but all the ones I've used are a 200C melting point, which makes it an ali tool only sort of product. Not much use for it for me, but for any big companies...
