Vacuum curing technology is the process employed to create mechanical pressure on a carbon fiber composite during its cure cycle. During the process, trapped air between layers is removed, shifting of fiber orientation is prevented, the resin is equally distributed throughout the fabric, and the fiber-to-resin ratio in the composite part is optimized.

This process offers a more consistent, thinner, lighter, and stronger product in comparison to wet lay-up. Additionally, because the vacuum bag creates pressure on its own, the need for autoclave curing is often eliminated, which allows us to be faster and more cost-efficient.

With Carbonin, products in sizes up to 2,000 x 1,400 x 1,200 mm can be made with a vacuum bagging process. For research and prototypes, we often use a smaller oven (Size: 1070 x 430 x 500) which allows us to be more flexible, faster, and more energy-efficient in the process.
