Lamborghini Huracan Carbon Fiber Engine Cover

The level of craftsmanship from designing a part either in a virtual environment or clay or FRP then producing prototypes either 3D printed or hand laying and shaping frp then test fitting then revising molds then making more prototypes then manufacturing final molds in composite or machined metal

Pretty sure every one of them was just COPIED (ie. formed) from the original Lamborghini part. ZERO design or modeling was done to make that piece. So, I agree NO craftsmanship required.

At least the new carbon composite parts are a step forward, co-created with Boeing. Lighter, stronger, etc.

I agree that forged carbon is definitely a technological advancement - some love the look of it while others not so much. I happen to like it. I for one am eager to see how it will be utilized even more.

now for traditional dry or wet lay up - assuming molds off OEM parts were easy to make (they aren't) how does the "machine made" fabric magically turn into a usable part? 1 man, 2 hands and lots of skill & know how- aka CRAFTSMANSHIP!
