Mold manufacturing Part manufacturing Additions Potential Bill of Material Timeline Index
Positive molds Laminated negativ molds Wet laminated monocoque Bonded halves Mold manufacturing – Concept
Mold manufacturing – Molding material Disadvantage MDF • Inhomogeneous density over thickness • Sensitive to humidity
Mold manufacturing – Positive molds • Bonding
Mold manufacturing – Positive molds • Milling
Mold manufacturing – Positive molds • Sanding
Mold manufacturing – Positive molds • Priming
Mold manufacturing – Positive molds • Bolts for insert positioning • Internal thread
Material choice: CFRP Alternative material: GFK Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Connection layer: Epoxy Fibreglas Flocs Thixotropiermittel Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Connection layer 6 Layers carbon fibre 600 gr/m² Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Connection layer 6 Layers carbon fibre Vacuum Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Connection layer 6 Layers carbon fibre Vacuum Demoldi Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Formenharz P Connection Layer 6 Layers Carbon Fibre Vacuum Demold Finished mold Mold manufacturing – Negative molds
Core material: Divinycell HP 60 foam Insert material Carbon and wood Part Manufacturing – Material choice
2 core layers of 5mm Heat bending Part manufacturing – Monocoque halves
2 core layers of 5mm Heat bending Vacuum bonding Sanding Part manufacturing – Monocoque halves
Mold release agent Frecote Part manufacturing – Monocoque halves
Mold release agent Frecote Resin: Hexion L 235 Hardener L236 Microballons for filling the gaps Part manufacturing – Monocoque halves
Procedure 4 layers CFRP Placing core / inserts 12 h vacuum 4 inner layers CFRP 15 h vacuum 12-20 h curing at 80° Part manufacturing – Monocoque halves
Bonding the halves Part manufacturing – Joining upper and lower halves
Roll hoop Part manufacturing – Additional structural parts
Roll hoop Rib Part manufacturing – Additional structural parts
Weight: 21kg (without rollhoops) Part manufacturing – Result
Painting Degreasing Primer Sanding White color Sanding White color Clear varnish 4kg Part manufacturing – Additional structural parts
Prepreg Monocoque: -Temperature resistant resin for negative molds -Same manufacturing process Advantage: Less weight, better surface, no painting needed Additions – Potential
Important: Well organiced workspace for laminating and sanding 2-4 people needed during laminating (due to little pot-life) We used 8 weeks, mostly one person for positive molds, negative molds and monocoque Additions – Timeline
