What sort of UV resistance to modern CF resins afford, especially compared to what was available 10 years ago or 20 years ago?

Are the labour costs the critical aspect in the carbon frameset prices?
Will be achiavable a european made frameset, competing in price and quality with the asian ones?

How much of a frame layup design is done using FE analysis and how much is down to testing?
What type of analyses are used to assess resistance to impact (direct to frame or though the “normal” introduction points like lugs, bearing etc) of carbon fibre frames?
How is manufacturability assessed during the design phase and are layup defects such as ply migration, waviness and porosity a common issue during the dev phases?

Is there a good place to start for beginners to building bikes/components out of carbon fiber; text books, websites, or similar?
