Hi almoststockfc and infernosg.
Actually it's just plain old vacuum bagging with the resin infused into the bag under vacuum. Autoclaves are expensive and best used for pre pregnated CF and for major structural load bearing components. Note I live in the hot tropics. Ambient temps are high into the 30+C in my shop so I don't really need the extra heat. The vacuum pressure in the bag is a steady 30 psi. I been doing this for more than 6 years now and I'm still learning. I hope this helps.
