1. Design Phase: 3D Drawings and Customer Requirements

The first step in developing a carbon fiber intake system is to obtain detailed 3D drawings or conduct 3D scanning to ensure the precision of the design. Customers need to provide specific requirements, including:

  • Wall Thickness:
  • Carbon Fiber Pattern: Selecting different weaves and textures to meet aesthetic and performance needs.
  • Logo and Surface Treatment: Personalized logo design and surface treatments, such as polishing or matte finish, enhance product recognition.
  • Packaging Requirements: Ensuring the safety of the product during transportation and storage.

 

2. Quotation and Requirement Confirmation

Based on the parameters and design requirements provided by the customer, a detailed cost calculation and quotation are conducted. During this phase, it may be necessary to communicate with the production department to confirm whether certain special requirements are feasible, such as special carbon fiber weaving methods or complex geometric shapes.

 

3. Mold Making

After confirming all requirements, the factory will create molds based on the 3D drawings. The quality of the mold directly affects the precision and quality of the final product. For carbon fiber intake systems, molds typically need to withstand high temperatures and pressures to ensure stability during the production process.

 

4. Sample Production

Using the molds, the production department begins to produce samples according to customer’s needs.

 

5. Mass Production

Once the samples meet all performance requirements, mass production can begin. During mass production, it is essential to continuously monitor product quality to ensure that each item meets high standards.

 

The development of carbon fiber intake systems is a complex but challenging process that involves precise design, strict material selection, and meticulous manufacturing processes.
