For less demanding applications where you can live without the optimized material properties of a quasi-isotropic lay-up, we have created EconomyPlate™. Our EconomyPlate™ sheets are comprised of orthotropic (non quasi-isotropic) laminates utilizing a twill weave at 0°/90° orientation, while maintaining a symmetrical and balanced laminate. For this sheet size, we offer twill high gloss, matte or textured finish on one side and a textured finish on the other side providing an excellent bonding surface. As with all DragonPlate solid carbon fiber sheets, EconomyPlate™ is composed entirely of a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix. CNC machining is also available with EconomyPlate™ solid carbon fiber sheets.
