Circularity in carbon fiber sports equipment. Aiming to create circularity solutions for hard-to-recycle carbon fiber sporting goods equipment, the World Sailing Trust created a collaborative ...

Trends in industrial, technological, and biomedical design have converged in recent years to create new interest in high-precision machining – to produce the highly accurate components that realize ...

A leading space company turned to Electroimpact to build large composite structures for a reusable carbon fiber rocket. In this project, REDEX precision gear racks and slew bearings power the motion ...

Carbon fiber changed the motorsport game when Formula One teams started using it to fabricate cars in the 1970s. A bunch of carbon atoms weaved together, carbon fiber is stiff, strong, and light—the ...

For years, carbon fiber bicycles have been mainly crafted by hand: carbon fiber layup and all that. However, some folks have asked themselves: Can we use robots to craft carbon fiber dreams? The ...

I recently covered a bicycle from Trek, the FX Sport 4, and if you remember that piece, you're aware that it's a fitness bicycle built out of carbon fiber with a mind-boggling price tag of $1,800.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a low-cost carbon fiber that could lower the cost of blades for wind turbines. The fiber begins as widely available raw material used in the ...

Components made of glass- and carbon- fiber reinforced composites, soaring in high-performance applications, can be 3D printed. A team of researchers has found that the printer head toolpaths are easy ...
