Here it is then folks, a professional video tutorial from the Easy Composites team, this time on composites pattern making. We'll give you a step-by-step process that can be followed to enable you to reliably produce dimensionally accurate and well finished glossy patterns for any design idea that you have.
We use a new design for a carbon fibre airbox (a product we actually need for our demo car!) and show taking a 3D CAD design, printing out templates from it and making the basic shape from foam before coating it and finishing it. We know that pattern making can be pretty daunting and I really hope this video shows that if you take your time and have a good process to follow it should not be anything to worry about!
As with all our recent videos this is shot (and best appreciated) in full HD which is far more effective at 'putting you in the room' than watching the low res version so please link through to the
Pattern Making Video Tutorial
page and change your YouTube settings to 1080p to appreciate it at its best.
If you have any questions at all about the process then please post your questions here where myself, Paul or Warren would be very pleased to answer your questions.

I'm making something similar myself. Are you going to do a 'how to' for the finished airbox?
