Choose from hundreds of manufacturing materials including various grades of thermoplastics. metals. and elastomersWhen selecting a material, consider the material properties, manufacturability characteristics, cosmetic appearance, and cost Carbon fber is a super-strono vet iohtweioht material. t is five times stronoer than steel. twice as stiff and around 1.5 fimes iohter Carbon Fiber is a polymer and is sometmes known as graphte fber, t is a very strong material that is also very lightweight. Carbon fiber is fve-times stronger tharste and twice as stf. Though cardon fber s stronger and stifer than steel. itis ioghter than steet- making t the idea manufacturing materal for many parts. Theseare iust a few reasons why carbon fiber is favored by engineers and designers for manufacturing.
