Claims20
A chassis of an information handling system, the chassis comprising:
- a carbon-fiber composite;
- and
- a plurality vents of formed in the carbon-fiber composite, wherein each of the plurality of vents is a channel extending through the carbon-fiber composite.
A chassis of an information handling system, the chassis comprising:
- a carbon-fiber composite;
- a vent area insert coupled to the carbon-fiber composite;
- and
- a plurality vents of formed in the vent area insert, wherein each of the plurality of vents is a channel extending through the vent area insert.
A method of manufacturing a chassis of an information handling system, the method comprising:
- determining a desired size, shape, and orientation of a plurality of vents;
- forming a plurality of holes in a plurality of carbon-fiber layers, each of the holes corresponding to one of the plurality of vents;
- aligning the plurality of carbon-fiber layers such that the holes in each layer have the desired alignment relative to the holes in an adjacent layer;
- and
- bonding the plurality of carbon-fiber layers to form a carbon-fiber composite.
A method of manufacturing a chassis of an information handling system, the method comprising:
- creating a vent area insert, the vent area insert including a plurality of vents;
- creating a cutout in a carbon-fiber composite, the cutout sized to receive the vent area insert;
- inserting the vent area insert into the cutout in the carbon-fiber composite;
- and
- coupling the vent area insert to the carbon-fiber composite.
