I was wondering where I could find information on Carbon Fiber laminates. I do not even know if they exist, but it would seem to me that one could lay layers of c.f. and resin in a stack, and then use a hydrolic press and a vaccume to solidify the layers together. Much like plywood.
Any info would be helpful.

Carbon Fiber laminates does exist of course, i have used it several times. the preimpragnated ones are called "prepregs".
The procedure you proposed seems like RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), although, it doesn't use conventional hydraulic press.
