Carbon Fiber Sandwich Sheets with Core

carbon fiber sheets with core DragonPlate offers a variety of carbon fiber sandwich sheets with cores. Our carbon fiber sandwich products are available in standard, high modulus and ultra high modulus carbon fiber.

What is a Sandwich Structure?

A composite sandwich sheet combines the superior strength and stiffness properties of carbon fiber with a lower density core material. In the case of Dragonplate sandwich sheets, the carbon fiber creates a thin laminate skin over a core material. By strategically combining a core material with carbon fiber skins, we are able to create a final product with a much higher stiffness to weight ratio than with either alone. For applications where weight is critical, Dragonplate carbon fiber sandwich sheets may be the right fit for you. See the comparison table below to see which sandwich sheet will work best for your application.
