I’ve read about the process but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a video of it.
It’s in an episode of Modern Marvels. The whole episode is cool but if you wanna see the nitty gritty of CF manufacturing skip to minute 5

Interesting video. I try to watch all the good Modern Marvels and I guess I missed that one. Now I would like to see a weaving machine in action.

I totally forgot about that video until you mentioned it! I saw it before I started in composites engineering. Watching is now is twice as amazing because I know how that’s only a fraction of the work involved in making that cloth a real part.
