Often used to make railings, edge covers, and other structural framing parts, these carbon fiber U-channels add stiffness and strength to applications without adding a lot of weight. They’re similar in strength to 6061 aluminum yet lighter in weight. With a plain weave and 0°/90° construction layup, all are easy to machine. They won’t splinter when cut.
