Over 2 million Americans are living with limb loss. 65% are living with lower limb (leg, toes, or foot) amputations, and 35% have lost an upper limb ( hand, arm, or fingers). Due to illness and injury, 185,000 amputations happen in the United States yearly. Some adapt and live without prosthetics. Others choose carbon fiber...Continue Reading

Ever since Roger Bacon discovered graphite whiskers in 1958, carbon fiber has become a mainstream option. Carbon fiber is used in high-performance applications ranging from airplanes and automobiles to satellites and even sporting goods. Carbon fiber was set to take the world by storm and even challenge fiberglass as one of the top textiles. The only reason fiberglass has held...Continue Reading

Weight saving and strength are the main reasons why people opt for carbon fiber over aluminum or other metal wheels. Carbon fiber is a lot more durable than people think and is the main choice of material when racing or any other sort of vehicle enhancement is trying to be achieved. With so many advantages,...Continue Reading
