I stilled used a bit to much of material I think, bit over-engineered :p Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com

Took me some time to get it correctly and some trial and error, but it was the main thing I was aiming for, to get it in one part. you can see in the video how everything was done... don't mind the music...youtube blocked the sound of the original video...damn you youtube!

One of things that is baffling me is how the really complex shapes are made, whilst maintaining the weave of the twill so neatly. Looking at things like the bodywork of the Noble, and the hockey helmet, I would like to know how you get the reinforcement to work on surfaces that are curved in two directions - particularly when the curves are tight. Is it the Profinish type reinforcement that is used or the 'normal' reinforcement which is more flexible? Thanks!
