Buckle up, cyclists! Your carbon fiber obsession is about to explode into a $6 billion market by 2030. Its popularity is for good reason too. These frames offer a winning combination of lightweight design, superior performance, and comfort. But what exactly makes them a game-changer for cyclists? Below is a guide that explores the benefits […]
Are you thinking of getting into pickleball? If so, do yourself a favor and invest in a carbon fiber pickleball paddle. See, carbon fiber is known for its durability and lightweight structure. These characteristics allow you to trade some power for greater control. For a beginner player, that’s a trade you should make every time. […]
Did you know that modern motorcycle helmets have little to no metal in them? If they were made from metals, they would transfer the shock to the wearer rather than absorbing the blow, and the results would be disastrous. If not metal, what is the best material to make a motorcycle helmet out of? The […]
Imagine placing five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe. This is equivalent to what occurs annually. Eight million tons of plastic waste from coastal nations escapes into the oceans. There are ways to contribute significantly to reducing plastic waste and consumption. Using a carbon fiber phone case is one of them. […]
More than one in six Americans will face foot pain at some point in their lives. Shoes with good support for the whole foot can help stabilize someone’s gait and ensure long-term pain reduction. Carbon fiber insoles have taken off with some people to address these problems. Do these shoe inserts live up to the hype? […]
Autoclave carbon fiber is changing the game for industries that need solid and lightweight materials. This process makes high-quality carbon fiber composites from planes to cars, sports gear to medical devices. These composites are tough and long-lasting. This article will explore the benefits of autoclave carbon fiber prototyping and how it’s used in different industries. […]
Did you know that more than 80% of NHL players use composite sticks? Although wooden options once covered the ice, modern designs have improved the game. Whether you want to play professionally or not, a good hockey design for your stick is essential. This piece of equipment might seem simple, but the smallest details can impact […]
Shooting a spacecraft into orbit is no easy task. And it’s made all the more difficult with heavy metals and materials. So how are today’s aerospace engineers solving that problem? With composite fabric! Join us as we take a closer look at how composite fabrics, including self-healing materials and nanocomposites, are bending the physics of […]
Despite its association with modern gear, carbon fiber has been part of the sports landscape since Kestrel introduced its carbon fiber bicycle in the late 1980s. Since then, carbon fiber has appealed to many sports professionals looking for lighter gear. Many of those products end up in landfills after a bad bike crash or a […]
Demand for commercial aircraft continues to rebound strongly after the pandemic. Airbus and Boeing expect that at least 40,000 new jets will need to be produced over the next 20 years. Airlines want more fuel-efficient planes that meet strict standards for design safety. Carbon fiber panels are an important part of meeting this demand. The […]
