The manufacturing of composite materials is changing the landscape of the industry. How? Manufacturers are coming up with new ways to use composites in a range of products. Composite manufacturing for transportation, energy, and water will get a boost after the US Senate passed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill, according to the American Composites Manufacturers Association. […]
The products and services of the aerospace industry represent some $734 billion to the world economy. Experts estimate that for every million in direct sales, six jobs are bolstered in the sector. For the aerospace industry to remain profitable and on the cutting edge, it has many times reinvented how. Maybe nothing signifies this more than the […]
You may not know it, but there are many things we take for granted as an advanced society. For instance, consider the concrete that makes up our streets, the bricks that hold together our buildings, and the carbon fiber frames of your bike. These are all made possible because of composite engineering. Thanks to the […]
In recent years, the medical industry has discovered several critical ways to utilize carbon fiber products in its field. Many carbon-fiber uses make it a viable contender with metals such as titanium or steel for surgical implants. For all its uses, however, many medical professionals don’t understand the carbon fiber manufacturing process. As such, they don’t comprehend […]
In recent years, carbon fiber medical devices have worked their way into the medical industry. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) first made a name for themselves in aerospace and car technology. Now, the medical world has seized on its value. The reason for this is straightforward. Carbon fiber materials help make medical devices last for longer […]
If we had to choose a single superpower, it would be to have all the traits of carbon fiber. It’s one of the elemental gods we have here on earth, along with fire, water, earth, and air. In fact, those other elements that have been around since the dawn of time are seriously rivaled by the power […]
Sciences in prosthetic augmentation have advanced over the years, giving amputees the strength and hope they need to carry on. As time went on, we’ve come from simple plastic limbs to being close to implementing robotics. Now, carbon fiber prosthetics will make lives that much easier for those who have lost their limbs. Over the […]
It doesn’t matter how good your designs are; the material you use to build products impacts everything. Using steel can be heavy and expensive, while aluminum can cause your products to break easily. The wrong materials for your products can damage your company in many ways. However, a carbon fiber product will always be a […]
Space and aerospace industries were among the first to utilize the profound abilities of carbon fiber. Over the decades, it has continued to replace other aerospace materials like aluminum and titanium for both structural and design purposes. Airplane parts like wings, for example, have experienced an increased demand for carbon fiber composites. This is because the use of […]
