Simple answer, no. The way to do this is to fit inserts into the carbon when laminating it up, so you are looking at carbon sheet around 10mm thick at the edges.
You can glue carbon together, but butt joints don't work. You need to use a decent epoxy resin (not araldite!) to glue sheet to carbon right angle section to make the joint.
The best way of making a carbon diff housing is to make make a pattern and laminate it up as two halves.
