Method for manufacturing carbon fiber component and carbon fiber component manufactured by using this method
View Patent ↗A method for manufacturing a carbon fiber component includes: placing a film with a texture on a first side surface into a mold, where a second side surface of the film abuts against an inner wall of the mold; injecting melted carbon fiber composite plastic into the first side surface through an injection port of the mold to obtain a component in a first shape; and obtaining a component in a second shape from the component in the first shape by using a material removal technique. Compared with the prior art, with the manufacturing method provided in the present invention, on the basis of ensuring a use strength requirement of a component, processing efficiency may be effectively increased. On this basis, the present invention further provides a carbon fiber component manufactured by using this manufacturing method.
