Time Bicycles: Carbon Fiber Weaving and Resin Transfer Molding

France's Time Bicycles uses a manufacturing process called Resin Transfer Molding, which involves drawing the resin into the fibers at the mold, and claims to be "the only cycling designer that has perfectly mastered this fabrication process." The way the video is shot admittedly renders parts of the production quite dull, but at least check out the trippy machines in the beginning that weave the carbon strands together:
