The Composites Manufacturing class focuses on learning state-of-the-art manufacturing processes used in industry to make composites of all kinds. Meanwhile we select and manufacture something made of composites that is challenging and unique. I designed and manufactured a custom carbon fiber French Horn bell to fit my wife's French Horn. The complexity of this project was due to the dimensional accuracy needed to mount the carbon fiber bell to the French Horn. The complex geometry also posed issues during CNC'ing, laying up fibers, demolding, sanding, and polishing. Vacuum infusion was the manufacturing method used to create the bell.
