This fusion of traditional floral elegance and advanced materials redefines the art of gifting and decor, presenting consumers with a lasting, customizable, and eco-conscious alternative to traditional floral arrangements.


The method for manufacturing everlasting roses from forged carbon fiber involves a meticulous process to ensure the creation of durable, aesthetically pleasing floral products. The method begins by selecting high-quality forged carbon fiber material, renowned for its strength, durability, and lightweight properties. The design planning phase follows, where considerations for the size, shape, and texture of each rose petal are made, employing advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software for precise digital modeling. Thin strands of the chosen forged carbon fiber material are then woven and molded to form a robust structure, shaping the individual petals of the everlasting rose. Adding texture to each petal comes next, intricately replicating the softness and delicacy found in natural rose petals. This step may involve additional molding or surface treatments as needed. Subsequently, the individually crafted carbon fiber petals are assembled to create a complete everlasting rose. Precision in positioning is crucial to faithfully recreate the natural arrangement of rose petals. Importantly, the method allows for customization during the assembly process, permitting variations in color, size, and overall arrangement to align with specific consumer preferences. To maintain a high standard, rigorous quality control measures are implemented throughout the manufacturing process. This includes inspections to verify structural integrity, visual appeal, and overall quality of each rose. Any imperfections are addressed to ensure that the Carbon Fleur roses meet the desired standards. The final steps involve completing the finished Carbon Fleur roses with additional touches such as polishing or coating. This enhances their appearance, achieving a refined and luxurious aesthetic. The intricate detailing and customization options in the manufacturing process contribute to the lifelike appearance of the everlasting roses, offering consumers a unique and personalized floral experience. The method encapsulates a comprehensive approach to crafting Carbon Fleur roses, marrying artistry, technology, and quality control to produce a lasting and customizable alternative to traditional floral arrangements.


The invention introduces a specialized mold system designed for the creation of a floral product, building upon the description of two distinct molds and a final assembly for the complete flower. In conjunction with the innovative aspect of crafting roses entirely from forged carbon fiber, a lightweight and durable material known for its strength and aesthetic appeal, this mold system adds a layer of precision and detail to the manufacturing process.



FIG. 1 illustrates a first mold (100) for the stem and leaves part of the Carbon Fleur, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The first mold (100) in the system is dedicated to forming the stem and leaves of the floral product and manufacturing the stem and leaves (102) for the carbon Fleur. This section of the mold provides the foundational structure for the flower, allowing the user to pour the chosen material—forged carbon fiber—into the mold. The material is then shaped within the mold to create the stem and leaves of the final product. The design of this mold is critical, ensuring that it captures the necessary details and dimensions for the stem and leaves, contributing to the overall realism of the finished floral piece.



FIG. 2 illustrates a second mold (200) for the sepal part of the Carbon Fleur, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The second mold (200) in the system is specifically designed for manufacturing the sepal part (210) of the flower. Users can pour the material—forged carbon fiber—into this mold, which is intricately shaped to form the sepal, the protective outer layer of the flower bud. This mold is essential for achieving the accurate and delicate detailing required for the sepal, enhancing the overall lifelike quality of the floral product.



FIG. 3 illustrates a flower bud part (300) of the Carbon Fleur, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. During this intricate stage, every petal is thoughtfully positioned to faithfully recreate the natural arrangement observed in real rose petals. The precision in the assembly ensures that the forged carbon fiber rose not only embodies the enduring qualities of the material but also captures the graceful and organic aesthetics inherent in natural roses. This meticulous approach contributes to the overall lifelike appearance of the Carbon Fleur roses, offering a unique and sophisticated alternative to traditional floral arrangements.



FIG. 4 illustrates different parts of the complete Carbon Fleur (400) that are assembled together to achieve the final product, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The final stage involves the assembly of the flower, incorporating the stem, leaves, and the sepal crafted from the respective molds.



FIG. 5 is a flowchart (500) disclosing the method for manufacturing process of Carbon Fleur, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention. The manufacturing process of Carbon Fleur/Carbon Fiber Fleur or Rose, involving the creation of everlasting roses from forged carbon fiber, is a meticulous and intricate procedure that combines precision engineering with artistic craftsmanship. The below is a detailed explanation of the manufacturing process:
