Common Fibers
Common Fibers is a Seattle-based carbon fiber manufacturer specializing in custom prototypes and short production runs.
In my role as Composites Technician I specialized in preparing workpieces for the fiberglass mold-making process, making the molds themselves, and all post-casting finishing processes, including automotive clear-coat application.
