How Are Carbon Fiber Parts Made: A Complete Guide
The Problem: Making Strong Parts That Don’t Weigh Too Much
Do you want parts that are strong but not heavy? Many people do! Cars, bikes, and planes need light parts that don’t break. But most light things are not strong. And most strong things are too heavy. This is a big problem! When you make things from metal, they get too heavy. This makes cars use more gas. It makes planes hard to fly. It makes bikes hard to ride.
The Problem Gets Worse
Think about what happens when parts are too heavy:
- Cars use more gas or battery power
- Bikes are hard to ride up hills
- Sports gear feels slow
- Planes need more fuel And if you try to make metal parts thinner to save weight, they get weak and can break! This is very bad for safety. No one wants parts that break!
The Solution: Carbon Fiber Manufacturing
Carbon fiber fixes these problems! Our company makes custom carbon fiber parts that are both light AND strong. We can make any part you need with our OEM/ODM service. to see what we can do!
What Is Carbon Fiber?
Carbon fiber is tiny threads of carbon that are thinner than a hair. These threads are stronger than steel but much lighter!
The global carbon fiber market is growing fast! In 2021, the world could make 193,000 tons of carbon fiber.
How We Make Carbon Fiber Parts: Step By Step
Step 1: Fiber Preparation
First, we get the carbon fibers ready. These come on big rolls. We cut them to the right size and shape for your part.
Step 2: Layup Techniques
Next comes the layup. This is when we put the carbon fiber where it needs to go. We do two kinds of layup:
- Hand layup – For custom parts that need special care
- Machine layup – For making many parts the same way Our skilled workers know just how to place each fiber for the most strength.
Step 3: Molding Methods
We use different ways to mold your parts:
| Method | What It’s Good For | How Fast It Is |
|---|
| C-RTM | Car parts | Very fast – good for making many parts |
| Vacuum bagging | Custom shapes | Medium speed – good for special projects |
| Autoclave | Airplane parts | Slow but perfect – when quality must be the best |
| Our C-RTM method is very good for car parts, just like they use in Yokohama, Japan. | | |
Step 4: Curing & Finishing
After molding, we cure the parts. This means we make them hard and strong. Then we make them smooth and pretty. We check every part to make sure it’s perfect.

- We use new machines that work better
- Our workers have lots of practice
- We check everything many times
- We can make any shape you want
- We make parts faster than other companies See our custom carbon fiber options for more!
Carbon Fiber Uses By Industry
Cars
Car makers love carbon fiber! It makes cars lighter so they use less gas or battery. By 2025, about 35% of all carbon fiber will go into cars. Our carbon fiber car parts are perfect for making cars better! We make many car parts:
- Hoods
- Doors
- Dashboards
- Spoilers For luxury cars like Bentley, we make special parts that look beautiful.
Motorcycles
Motorcycles need to be light to go fast. Our carbon fiber motorcycle parts help bikes go faster and look cooler. We make:
- Gas tanks
- Side panels
- Fenders
- Exhaust covers
Sports Equipment
Sports gear needs to be strong but light. We make:
- Bike frames
- Tennis rackets
- Golf clubs
- Fishing rods
Airplanes
Airplanes save fuel when they use carbon fiber. We make parts that help planes fly farther using less fuel. By 2025, about 25% of carbon fiber will be used in airplanes.
Our Manufacturing Process In Detail
Raw Materials We Use
We start with the best materials:
- Carbon fiber cloth from Japan
- Special glue that holds it all together
- Color dyes for making parts look nice
How We Shape The Carbon Fiber
- We put the carbon cloth on a mold
- We add special glue
- We press it all together
- We use heat to make it hard
- We make it smooth and shiny
Custom Carbon Fiber Dashboard Example
Want to see how we work? Let’s look at a custom carbon fiber dashboard we made:
- Customer sent us the shape they wanted
- We made a perfect mold
- We put carbon fiber on the mold
- We made sure it was the right thickness
- We cured it in our special oven
- We made it smooth and shiny
- We sent it to the happy customer!
