that sample is just to show you the weave and the quality of the dry carbon fiber. I cant show you the complete piece as it doesnt belong to us so had to crop the pictures. It was a cloudy day so the pics arent the best.

Dry carbon fiber is made in a pre-preg and dry process which consists of vacuum forming sheet of carbon fiber into a mold at temperatures around 350¢K, this process allows carbon fiber to form into a strong and lightweight composite.

On the other hand, wet carbon fiber is formed by using hand laid carbon fiber sheets into a mold then mixed with resin (30% carbon fiber, 70%resin).

Because of the molding process, dry carbon fiber cost more to produce than wet carbon fiber usually up to 2-3 times more. Dry carbon is also much lighter and stronger hence why F1 cars use them.
