Small-batch autoclave molding of dry-carbon CFRP components

Autoclave processing of Japanese prepreg into dry-carbon CFRP components, with design, mold preparation, trimming, and prototype through volume inquiry intake.

Problem solved

Provides a route for buyers that need lightweight CFRP parts but require a small supplier able to discuss design, mold preparation, autoclave cure, and trimming rather than only purchase raw composite material.

Application contexts

  • Lightweight drone components
  • Robotic arms
  • Mobility and motorcycle parts
  • Industrial inspection-equipment components

Technical principle

Prepreg containing carbon fiber and resin is thermally cured in an autoclave. The company publicly lists two autoclaves, including a 1,300 mm diameter by 2,500 mm unit with temperature control to 200 degrees C and pressure control to 0.8 MPa.

Typical use cases

  • Prototype dry-carbon structures
  • Custom lightweight robotic components
  • Small-series composite mobility parts
