When a semiconductor equipment manufacturer approached us about replacing the cast iron base on their wafer inspection machine, their problem wasn’t weight — it was

An engineer at a sporting goods company emailed us last month with a single-sentence question: “How much does carbon fiber cost?” Her company was designing

Every year, roughly 30,000 tonnes of carbon fiber waste is generated globally—dry fiber scrap from manufacturing (prepreg trim, bobbin ends, rejected layups) and end-of-life cured

Ask an engineer who’s never worked with composites what carbon fiber’s tensile strength is, and they’ll give you a single number—maybe 3,500 MPa, maybe 5,000,
