As American politicians and industries look to bring manufacturing to U.S. soil, Iowa State University researchers and their ...

This blog is a compilation of publicly available information on Safran Group’s (Paris, France) production of carbon fiber-reinforced carbon (carbon/carbon) brake discs for aircraft. The company ...

McLaren has been on the bleeding edge of carbon fiber technology for more than 40 years now. It all started way back in the '80s when it started using carbon fiber in the construction of its Formula 1 ...

Carbon fiber has reached a point of borderline oversaturation, even trickling down to borderline-affordably priced performance cars in recent years. But even if we’re not longer as impressed by the ...

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can learn ...

Carbon nanotube wires for wearables can be crafted from existing fiber manufacturing process by National Research Council of Science and Technology Editors' notes The GIST Add to Preferred Sources ...

Rocket Lab has pushed the first launch of its Neutron rocket to 2027 after engineers discovered defects in the manufacturing process for the vehicle's carbon composite propellant tank domes. The delay ...
