Dragonplate provides several systems for connecting carbon fiber tubes to assemble rigid lightweight carbon fiber tube structures. Our pre-drilled flat gussets allow easy assembly of square and rectangular carbon fiber tubes and connection to carbon fiber plates and other surfaces. Our patented Mold...
Carbon fiber is increasingly used in the manufacturing of stringed instruments. Instruments made from carbon fiber composite offer many benefits: durability, dramatically reduced weight, and total resistance to changes in temperature or moisture. An instrument will remain in tune and be ready for pe...
Carbon fiber plate is a composite material composed of carbon fiber strands and resin. The resulting product is light, yet strong and durable. Carbon fiber plates come in many different types to fit a variety of applications and industries, including automotive and aerospace. In this blog post, we w...
As applications of carbon fiber tubing increase, there is an increasing need for a practical tubing connector system. Carbon fiber tubes are used in many applications where their stiffness and light-weight provide a significant advantage. This can only be realized with a simple and reliable tubing c...
Applications for carbon fiber are only limited by the imagination of engineers who design products. New uses continue to be discovered. Just a few short years ago, carbon fiber was considered an exotic and expensive material from which to manufacture products. Now it can be found in many aspects of ...
The carbon fiber fabrication process involves many steps. The process begins with a precursor, the raw material used to make the carbon fiber. Once the precursor fibers are carbonized, oxidized, and sized they can be woven into fabrics, braids, or used directly in the two forms (untwisted continuo...
Whether you’re a professional fabricator or a first-time DIY’er, you might need carbon fiber sheets for your next project. Carbon fiber composites are complex materials that require specific engineering knowledge, skills, and equipment to properly manufacture. It is important to understand the proc...
Carbon fiber tubing is becoming more and more popular in many industries, including automotive, automation, and industrial robotics. It is used in applications where light weight and high strength are important properties, making it a popular choice. What do you know about carbon fiber tubes? What a...
