Abstract
A method is provided for making shaped self-supporting carbon-fiber structure by initially forming a fluid mixture of curable binder and carbon-fiber. The mixture is poured into a mold, and a vacuum is applied to the mold to effect the separation of excess binder. Cure is effected of the residual binder to produce a removable self-supporting shaped carbon-fiber structure.
