60% Less Weight. 400+ MPa Strength. Meet the Aluminum Alternative.
2026-10-09
If you're developing lightweight structural components, you've probably faced a familiar challenge: reducing the weight of metal parts often compromises strength or drives up machining costs. Carbon fiber prepreg compression-molded parts offer excellent performance, but they come with high material costs, long production cycles, and low manufacturing efficiency. Conventional plastics are lightweig...
