Carbon Fibre Shoe Horn

With his prior composite experience, Patric wanted to make a stronger shoe horn after the family's plastic one kept breaking. So he chose to use his experience to make it out of carbon fibre.

The first step was to use an original shoe horn as a pattern to make the mould from. Once the flanges had been fitted around the shoe horn and the gaps filled with filleting wax, it was time to make the mould. The Uni-Mould Tooling System was used to lay up the mould itself. Once demoulded and trimmed, the mould was ready to make the carbon shoe horn.

To make the part, resin infusion was chosen as the method of choice. Being a smallish part, the lay up of carbon fibre, subsequent vacuum bagging and the infusion itself was relatively simple and quick to do. Once cured, the shoe horn could be demoulded, trimmed and fettled, then put into use. Probably the most high end shoe horn you could ever use!
