wet carbon fiber is referring to the process of wet layup where you soak or spread liquid epoxy onto the carbon fabric.
"dry" would be referring to prepreg, where the fabric comes preimpregnated with exactly the right amount of epoxy already in it.
prepreg ends up stronger because it has a higher carbon to epoxy ratio.
either method can be vacuum bagged and/or autoclaved but usually someone doing wet layup doesnt have those kinds of resources.
