hi, how could this be made using prepreg? would it require compression moulding to push the fabric into the points.
yeah, it could have a plastic/metal caul plate piece to make sure the fabric is set into the points. Or it could just be a 2 part heated compression mold.
what kind of prepreg can drape and be as flexable as that, the prepreg ive used i could not get into these shapes even under press
I believe if you look closely…you’ll see that each vortec generator is an individual piece of cloth and the main larger piece has been carefully bladed with windows for each later placed smaller pieces.They would be pressed carefully inward witha preshaped caul tool.They may have cast several cauls to be left into each VG while under vac.

o rite, i cant see the join but i understand. nice part
I can’t see the joint, but yeah, each blade might be it’s own piece. which is very common for pre-preg, to be cut to shape so it works perfectly.
