Carbon Fiber Trusses and Space Frames Carbon Fiber Trusses!

Why is Carbon Fiber ideal for truss structures? The benefit of carbon fiber over conventional structural materials is the high strength and high stiffness to weight ratios. Now you can build these structures using DragonPlate materials. See How...

Carbon Fiber Tube Connectors

NEW! - Create Complex Structures Easily
Carbon Fiber Tube Connectors DragonPlate carbon tube connectors incorporate universal design, allowing the user to create structures with a large variety of angles and connections. A separate diagonal connector bonded to the end of a carbon tube can be aligned at any angle, allowing for the creation of unique and custom designed structures.

DragonPlate carbon tube connectors are designed to be used specifically with our .5" pultruded and .5" wound tubes. These connectors are ideal for building light weight, cost effective, and complex structures.

Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core

NEW! - AVAILABLE IN .25", .5" AND .75" THICKNESSES
Carbon Fiber Nomex Honeycomb Core DragonPlate Nomex Honeycomb Core sheets are an excellent light weight composite sheet utilizing a Nomex Honeycomb core. Nomex honeycomb is the standard for lightweight non-metallic composite construction. Commercial Grade honeycomb made with aramid fiber paper (DUPONT Nomex or equivalent) coated with heat resistant phenolic resin offers excellent resiliency, low density, lower pricing and high strength to weight ratio.

Similar to our foam core product line, Nomex honeycomb is another type of sandwich panel. In essence an I-Beam, the honeycomb acting as the web, and the top skins acting as the flanges. The advantage over an I-Beam is the core creates a box structure giving the panel additional torsional rigidity. Another benefit of a core material is as the core thickness increases the panels stiffness increases dramatically. The Nomex honeycomb offers additional compressive strength with lower densities when compared to low density foam cores. Nomex Honeycomb also has properties include moisture resistance, energy absorption and sound and vibration dampening.

Larger Size Square & Rectangular Braided Tubes

NOW AVAILABLE IN 3" x 3" AND 2" x 4" SIZES!
Carbon Fiber Braided Tubes These new larger sized square and rectangular tubes are comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics. They are ideal for building light weight frames and structures such as trusses. Our Carbon Fiber square tubing has been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. Our tubing is also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber square tube as been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured in a sandwich structure, eliminating longitudinal cracking and splitting.

Carbon Fiber Divinycell Foam Core

NOW AVAILABLE 1" THICK!
Carbon Fiber Divinycell Foam Core DragonPlate's carbon fiber Divinycell foam core utilizes Divinycell H100 high performance core. This is a medium density structural foam with very high strength to weight ratio. With very large strength properties, this carbon fiber foam core laminate is an excellent choice for heavier duty applications where lighter density foams struggle. Divinycell H100 is also an excellent damage tolerant foam and is ideal for impact applications. The lay-up design is quasi-isotropic, consisting of three layers of carbon fiber on each side of a Divinycell foam core center. Available in gloss, matte or texture on one side and texture on other side for bonding to other surfaces. For foam specifications, please refer to the official Divinycell Foam Data Sheet.

Carbon Fiber Airex Foam Core

NEW PRODUCT!
Carbon Fiber Airex Foam Core DragonPlate carbon fiber C70-40 Airex foam core is a unique closed cell, cross-linked polymer foam core carbon fiber sheet. This is a lightweight structural foam sheet that has good impact strength. While great for high strength applications which require a low panel weight, this is a carbon fiber foam core laminate that can resist crushing forces and supply an adequate mounting surface. The lay-up design is quasi-isotropic, consisting of three layers of carbon fiber on each side of a Airex foam core center. Available in gloss, matte or texture on one side and texture on other side for bonding to other surfaces. For foam specifications, please refer to the official Airex Data Sheet.

Carbon Fiber Economy Sheets

NEW PRODUCT!
Economy Carbon Fiber Sheet For less demanding non-cosmetic applications where you can live without the beautiful DragonPlate finish and the optimized material properties of a quasi-isotropic lay-up, we have introduced a new product called EconomyPlate. Our EconomyPlate offering is comprised of orthotropic (non quasi-isotropic) laminates utilizing a twill weave at 0°/90° orientation, while maintaining a symmetrical and balanced laminate. Instead of the standard gloss DragonPlate finish, a textured finish is supplied on both sides to keep the price low, while offering an excellent bonding surface. As with DragonPlate solid carbon fiber sheets, all laminates are composed entirely of a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix. Custom sizes and CNC machining are also available with EconomyPlate solid carbon fiber sheets.

Carbon Fiber Corner Gusset

NEW PRODUCT!
Carbon Fiber Corner Gusset Carbon fiber corner gussets allow for a simple method to bond together flat stock. This is a simple way to create an array of structures using DragonPlate carbon fiber sheets, eliminating the extra cost unnecessary tube or beam supports. Our corner gussets are already molded to 90 degree angles, which will save much time and energy in assembly and the creation of fixtures. Our carbon fiber corner gusset can also work well with our square tubing as an alternative to our three way corner gusset. These carbon fiber gussets are made with a texture by texture finish for an ideal bonding surface, utilizing a quasi-isotropic, symmetrical lay up schedule and a rigid epoxy matrix. Our corner gussets have been designed to work with our Scotchweld #2216 epoxy adhesive kit which is an ideal structural adhesive with extremely high shear and peel strengths.

Carbon Fiber Square, Rectangular & Round Tubing

Carbon Fiber Large Tubes
Carbon Fiber Tube Splice
LIGHTWEIGHT AND STRONG!
This versatile tubing is comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics, ideal for building light weight frames and structures. Our Carbon Fiber large tubing has been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber tubing is also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Carbon fiber large tube as been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured in a sandwich structure, eliminating longitudinal cracking and splitting. The finish on this product is different from our other product lines. These tubes show the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet shiny appearance.




NEW! TUBE SPLICES
Now you can create custom length square tubes! These splices join our carbon fiber large square and rectangular tubes to create any length you need. Made of multiple layers of carbon fiber, these splices fit on the inside of our tubes making near seamless tubes of any length!

Carbon Fiber Gussets for Square Tubing

Carbon Fiber GussetsNEW PRODUCT!
Now you can build super strong carbon fiber structures with our new gussets for our carbon fiber square tubes!

Carbon Fiber Gusset StructureGussets are widely used to reinforce tube structures but are commonly made from heavy materials. Our new gusset kits allow for an infinite combination of lightweight structures to be built with our square and rectangular tubing. Each gusset is a solid carbon fiber DragonPlate laminate. The laminate thickness is equal to our tubing wall thickness. The front face of the gusset has our low glare, scratch resistant matte finish, and the back has a peel ply finish that is ideal for bonding. Our gusset plates have been designed to work with our Scotchweld #2216 epoxy adhesive kit. This is an ideal structural adhesive with extremely high shear and peel strengths.

Each kit includes a set of pre-drilled gussets and enough blind rivets to help locate and hold the gusset plates to the tubes during bonding.
