At DragonPlate, we love exploring new ways to demonstrate the strength and versatility of our modular connectors. One of our team members, Ben, recently designed and built an innovative tripod using our carbon fiber tubes and modular connector components. While DragonPlate doesn’t manufacture or sel...
When Christoph Gruber set out to create the JAFmaster, he envisioned an ultra-lightweight, compact, and highly expressive guitar that seamlessly blended acoustic and electric elements. As an instrument designed for maximum resonance and playability, weight reduction was a critical challenge.
Achiev...

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...
