Today, manufactures search for materials that offer high strength and low weight so they can produce many different types of products. Using carbon fiber parts reduces burdens for companies and these parts have been put to use in various industries. The aerospace and medical fields make good use of the strengths of carbon fiber.
Carbon fiber production involves three main steps which are:
Pre-preg process
First, carbon fiber parts are manufactured and they are later formed into carbon fiber sheets. The job of weaving begins once all the separate threads are unified into one strand.
Steps for manufacturing carbon fiber
By using raw materials like epoxy, a prefabricated composite is made by mixing and curing resins. The resin becomes ready when it has been processed under high temperature and polymerization.
Post-preg processing
Next, additional resins are put into the composite pieces.
Why is it valuable to use carbon fiber?
Strength
Carbon fiber stands out mainly because it is very stiff for its weight.
Low changes in volume due to changes in temperature
It also does not change its dimensions significantly as temperature changes. The degree of thermal expansion is less.
Anisotropic properties
Because carbon fiber is so impressive, it doesn’t match the properties of materials such as aluminum, plastic or steel. Still, carbon fiber components do not have perfect symmetry and are not the same in all directions, yet they keep the same mechanical properties in every direction.

Carbon fiber engineering processes!

• Designing 

The carbon fiber designing process considers all customers’ requirements so that a specific product with specific technical conditions can be made.

• Analysis 

Carbon fiber is analyzed according to its various applications. The latest tools and technologies are used for the analysis.

• Prototyping 

A critical process of carbon fiber prototyping is going through testing so that the design can be validated to ensure that the product is explicitly prepared according to the client’s requirements. So, the final product meets the standard quality.

• Carbon fiber manufacturing 

The latest techniques and technologies are used to manufacture carbon fiber material of unmatched quality. Generally, the carbon fiber manufacturing process includes processing wet layup, vacuum bagging, pultrusion, etc.

Ultimately, the composites are great with properties including stiffness and strength, with a lighter weight property.
