Abstract:
1. A method of forming a carbon composite part, comprising: placing one or more materials including a carbon fiber component and a resin component in one or more mold cavities of a moldbase, the moldbase comprising one or more mold inserts that combine to form the one or more mold cavities; aligning the one or more mold inserts; heating the one or more materials; forming the carbon composite part; and ejecting the carbon composite based part from its respective mold insert by using one or more elector pins, the one or more ejector pins positioned within one or more respective ejector pin shafts that are formed within at least one of the mold inserts, each ejector pin shaft being associated with a pin shaft stopper fitted within the ejector pin shaft, wherein at least one pin shaft stopper is distinct from any of the ejector pins, wherein the pin shaft stopper is adapted to transfer a mechanical force from a respective ejector pin to the carbon composite based part for ejection of the carbon composite based part from a respective mold insert, and wherein the pin shaft stopper is further adapted to prevent the substantial passage of said the component into its associated ejector pin shaft during formation of the carbon composite based part.
