Thanks to everyone who replied.

After being cured, the laminate is then pyrolized to convert the resin
to carbon.

I think up to this point it's realistic to carry out oneself. Pyrolysis
under vacuum would be hard, but in an e. g. Argon atmosphere it should
be doable.

This is where it gets beyond what I consider realistic.

vacuum chamber isn't that big a hurdle for reasonably sized ( hat box ) parts.

heating via microwave iradiation?
