Carbon Fibre Products with Complex Shapes Description
Carbon fibres are long and slender strands that primarily consist of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms bind to form crystals within the fibres. Because the crystals align in an approximately parallel arrangement to the fibre’s longitudinal axis, the material exhibits high strength relative to its size.
Thousands of carbon fibres, typically 3k to 12k for consumer products, are twisted into a yarn. We process these carbon fibre yarns further or weave them into carbon fabric. Carbon fabric forms the basis for most commercially available carbon fibre products. We then combine the carbon fabric with epoxy resin or other polymers and shape it into various forms for different applications. Carbon fibre materials maintain their strength even when produced with lower-grade fibres such as T300, provided they are correctly designed and manufactured.
Carbon fibre components weigh much less than comparable metal components. We employ carbon fibre composite materials in the manufacture of high-performance sports equipment, bicycle frames, fishing rods, body panels, model frames and other items. Some carbon fibre materials are used in the aerospace industry to replace conventional alloys.
Applications of Carbon Fibre Products with Complex Shapes
We have manufactured carbon fibre components for a variety of applications, including:
Industrial equipment
Robotics
RC hobby devices – race cars, helicopters, quadcopters, etc.
Marine
Advantages of Carbon Fibre Products with Complex Shapes
One advantage of carbon fibres and composites is that nearly any shape or size can be produced. All that is required is a tool or mould to shape the layers of carbon fibres.
