Abstract: A process for producing a carbon fiber facsimile (20) from a master model (16), wherein layers of epoxy impregnated carbon fiber weave (52) are applied to the surface of master model (16), a pressure pad (26) having a first surface with topography substantially complementing the surface topography of master model (16) and a second side adapted for substantially uniform transmittal of pressure is placed thereon, a breather cloth (56) is placed over the layers of epoxy impregnated carbon fiber weave (52), a rubber membrane (58) is placed over the breather cloth (56), and the layers of epoxy impregnated carbon fiber weave (52) are cured under pressure using a catalyst for exothermic heat, producing a carbon fiber facsimile (20) having a uniform wall thickness, a first side (60) having surface topography complementing the topography of surface (22) of master model (16) and a second side (62) having surface topography which is substantially parallel to the topography of surface (22) of master model (16).
