I know I am new but figured I would throw my 2 cents in here as I have done a lot of work with carbon fiber. The F1 car teams use a similar procedure whereas they essentially CNC machine a block of foam that is then dissolved. You can absolutely use Martin's idea but it does somewhat disrupt the intended structural integrity of using carbon fiber for light weight.
