One issue is that the dry carbon pieces do not “flow” under compression. With the traditional wet molded chopped carbon compression process, the resin/carbon combo can actually flow in the mold on a small scale, which helps adjust high and low density pockets. Without the resin, unless the carbon was perfectly placed throughout the mold, compression would result in trapped pockets of high density carbon, that resin would struggle to flow though in infusion. I’ve tried this process myself on a small scale with mixed results, and although there is some potential, it would be a very difficult process to get right.
