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 […]
The days of the wooden peg leg are long behind us, but the concept remains much the same. The only difference is that we’ve come a long way in terms of design and material quality. Many modern materials help elevate prosthetics to a level previously only dreamed of, and carbon fiber is one of them. […]
Carbon fiber has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it a great choice for a variety of applications. It’s also an ideal choice for a car’s steering wheel. Carbon fiber steering wheel options are stylish and lightweight and offer a responsive experience to drivers. However, if you’re thinking about adding this wheel to your vehicle, be sure […]
Since its introduction to auto parts in the 1980s as part of a Formula 1 car design, carbon fiber has become a growing part of the auto industry. Industry experts and hobbyists alike often design and commission custom carbon fiber parts for their vehicles. If you’re an enthusiast or custom parts manufacturer getting started with […]
