Natural fibers are increasingly gaining attention from researchers and academicians due to their eco-friendly characteristics and sustainable nature. This paper aims to present a comprehensive study on Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites (NFRC), covering their design, fabrication, simulation, and testing. For fabrication, a custom-built compression pressing machine was employed. This helped overcome the limitations of the hand-lay technique, such as air entrapment and uneven thickness, across the cross-section. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experimental methods were adopted to evaluate the stress–strain behavior of the composites. To validate the FE simulation, tensile testing was conducted on a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). The experimental stress–strain curve showed good agreement with the simulated results. This validation confirms the accuracy of the adopted approach. The findings suggest that NFRCs can be manufactured on a larger scale in a cost-effective manner, using hand-lay techniques in combination with a custom-built compression molding.
