Reinforce structures with these rods—they weigh less than aluminum while remaining strong and almost as rigid. Their fibers are aligned in a single direction, so they hold up to bending across the fibers but will splinter and separate like string cheese when bent along the length of the fiber. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital.

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.

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.

Mount these lightweight tubes to flat surfaces in place of aluminum to create structural frames, machinery components, and robotics. This carbon fiber weighs less yet is almost as rigid as aluminum. Adopted by the aerospace industry, carbon fiber is known for its balance of weight and strength. And since it's lightweight, it reduces the wear and stress on motorized parts, extending the life of machines.

These tubes have layers that alternate fibers in three directions, so they spread out their strength and resist crushing along the entire tube. They are checked, so they won’t fray or splinter when cut, making them easy to machine. They have the classic carbon-fiber look.
