    High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes

    Often used in place of aluminum for structural frames, machinery components, and robotics, these tubes are lighter in weight and almost as rigid. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Thanks to these tubes being lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts to extend the life of machinery.
    Plain Glossy Round Tubes
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes, Glossy, Plain.
    Plain glossy tubes have layers with fibers that alternate in two directions, so they resist bending and crushing across the entire tube. They have more structural integrity compared to plain matte tubes.
    Glossy carbon fiber can be sanded for a matte finish or to prep it for painting.

    High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sheets and Bars

    Known for its use in the aerospace industry, where a balance of weight and strength is critical, carbon fiber is now often machined into panels for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics. Use it in place of aluminum to reduce your application's weight without sacrificing much rigidity. Because these sheets and bars are lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts, increasing the life of machinery.
    Glossy Checked Sheets
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sheets and Bars.
    Glossy carbon fiber can be sanded for a matte finish or to prep it for painting.
    Checked carbon fiber has layers that alternate fibers in two directions, so they spread out their strength across the entire sheet or bar. It has more structural integrity compared to plain bars. Checked carbon fiber is easy to machine and will not fray or splinter when cut. It has the classic carbon-fiber look.

    Glossy Checked Bars
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sheets and Bars.
    Glossy carbon fiber can be sanded for a matte finish or to prep it for painting.
    Checked carbon fiber has layers that alternate fibers in two directions, so they spread out their strength across the entire sheet or bar. It has more structural integrity compared to plain bars. Checked carbon fiber is easy to machine and will not fray or splinter when cut. It has the classic carbon-fiber look.

    Rigid High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. Rigid High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes.
    Often used for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics, these carbon fiber tubes are as stiff as steel yet a fraction of the weight. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Because they are lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts, which increases the life of machinery. These tubes are constructed with layers that alternate fibers in two directions, making them difficult to bend.
    The checked pattern on these tubes keeps fibers from splintering when the tubes are cut, making them easy to machine. It also has a classic carbon-fiber look. These tubes are glossy and can be sanded for a matte finish.

    Telescoping High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Hex Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Carbon Fiber. Telescoping High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Hex Tubes.
    Fit these lightweight tubes inside each other to create adjustable tubes for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics. Their hex shape prevents these tubes from twisting when they’re inside larger tubes and allows you to mount them to flat surfaces. Carbon fiber is often used in place of aluminum because it weighs less but is almost as rigid. It is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is critical. These tubes reduce wear and stress on motorized parts and increase the life of machinery since they're lightweight.
    These tubes have layers that alternate fibers in two directions, so they resist crushing across the tube. This checked carbon fiber is easy to machine—it won’t fray or splinter when cut. It also has the classic carbon-fiber look. The surface is glossy and can be sanded for a matte finish.

    High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber U-Channels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber U-Channels.
    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.

    Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Clear Scratch- and UV-Resistant Acrylic Sheets.
    Often used for windows, signs, and windshields, these extruded acrylic sheets offer nearly the same performance as cast acrylic at a lower price. They’re a better choice for outdoor use than polycarbonate because they are UV and scratch resistant and will maintain clarity over time.
    Matte/Glossy—Sheets have a nonglare finish on one side; the other side is glossy.

    Impact-Resistant High-Strength Carbon Fiber Sheets with Kevlar Core

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Carbon Fiber. Impact-Resistant High-Strength Carbon Fiber Sheets with Kevlar Core.
    Often used to build frames and structures, these lightweight sheets combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the impact resistance of Kevlar. With carbon fiber on the outer layers, these sheets are extremely difficult to bend—they’re nearly as stiff as pure carbon fiber. The carbon fiber layers also provide good strength under tension, comparable to 6061 aluminum. Sandwiched between the carbon fiber layers of these sheets is a Kevlar core. Known for its toughness, the Kevlar core helps prevent sheets from failing under a variety of stresses, such as punctures, cuts, impact, and wear. The Kevlar core also has a lower density than carbon fiber, making these sheets even lighter than sheets made from carbon fiber alone.
    0.09" Thick—Sheets with 0.09 in. thickness have thicker layers of carbon fiber, making them stiffer than those with 0.06 in. thickness.

    Warp-Resistant High-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Sheets

    Image of Specification. Quasi-Isotropic Construction. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Quasi-Isotropic Carbon Fiber.

    Quasi-Isotropic Construction

    Layers of fibers alternating in four directions makes this carbon fiber stiff at the corners and edges, so it stands up to twisting forces. It also gives you the same stiffness as standard carbon fiber but in a thinner sheet, reducing the overall weight of your application. It's ideal for thin, strong parts—often substituted for aluminum because it's lighter in weight yet almost as rigid.
    A checked pattern keeps the fibers from splintering when cut and gives these sheets the classic carbon fiber look. They're glossy but can be sanded for a matte finish.
