Dry Carbon Fiber (more expensive) is made with a prepreg (pre-impregnated) carbon material where the resin is already applied to the carbon lattice in a controlled manner. Parts made with this process are lighter and if correctly designed are stronger than their "wet" counterparts due to finer control of resin matrix in the composite.
wet carbon fiber (less expensive) is made by taking carbon fabric and applying resin to it in a fashion very similar to how DIYR's make fibreglass parts. Parts made with this process are typically heavier due to the larger amount of resin matrix in the final part.
