    Hello, I am building my knowledge of composite construction, and I'm curious about making molds with carbon fiber to reduce thermal expansion, and increase stiffness for higher tolerance parts. Does anyone have any good info, basic or advanced, or any links to helpful resources on making molds out of carbon fiber? Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
