I've been working with carbon fiber and other composites for six years now and quite honestly I find it all fascinating.
I was an international IT project manager, my husband was a product designer with a background in composites production, we both had a history and love of motorsport so why not start our own composites business?
I can give you so many reasons why not, but that is with the benefit of hindsight and thank goodness we didn't know the challenges that would face us before we started.
Like a lot of things in life, if you knew how difficult it would be you might not start, once you start you've made an investment you have to keep going, once you succeed you're glad you did. We're still working on the succeed bit but getting there.
We have our own range of Group N rally parts for Mitsubishis and Subarus. We also make parts for other specialist motorsport companies (I'm sworn to secrecy about most of these so please do not ask me for details). We've now applied our carbon and design knowledge to making iPhone cases.
See our range of motorsport parts at www.m-techcomposites.co.uk and our range of cases at www.m-techdesigns.com.
I'd like to share my steep learning curve (warts and all) about:-
* carbon fiber; fact and fiction
* how it's made; different materials and methods of manufacture
* carbon fiber in action; applications and interviews with customers and suppliers
So a big subject, where would you like me to start?
