Water jet cuttng carbon fiber fabric

[QUOTE="CWatters, post: 5437672, member: 423469"] I've only ever hand cut plain carbon fibre cloth but in the absence of a better reply... I don't think carbon fibre will absorb water and swell up but the cloth would need to be dried well before being impregnated with resin. Perhaps they want you to cut "Prepreg" rather than plain woven cloth? Prepreg already has resin in it that is later heat activated. Plain cloth can fray easily when it's handled - particularly on cuts that are parallel to the weave or at corners/points. I think it could be difficult to get cut pieces out of the water without it falling apart/fraying? I think Prepreg would be much less prone to this. [/QUOTE]
