In this Proof of Concept video, I am trying to show you how an infusion is done on the mould side. Interesting thing as well is that the 2 glass plates, used as moulds, are connected to each other. By this I mean the Resin outlet of the first part is connected to the resin inlet on the second one. The end of the second plate goes to the Easycomposites catchpot, connected once again to the vacuumpump. By working this way, less tubing is used and less resin is wasted.

The trick of doing a vertical infusion probably wont change anything to the finish of the part. This was done more in an illustrative way to show that vacuum flows evenly and gravity wont change much to the flow. Resin will always search for the lowest vacuum, filling these.
It was off course done vertically to show you the back of the Resin infusion
