Why Carbon Fiber & Why Spartec Composites
Carbon fiber is an exceptional material that is uniquely suited for a wide range of industries and applications. Incredibly strong while being inconceivably lightweight, carbon fiber is ideal for countless consumer applications while also being a pragmatic choice for aerospace and defense applications. When looking for carbon fiber composite manufacturing services, it is important to work with an experienced custom carbon fiber manufacturing company.
At Spartec Composites we have specialized in the design and manufacturing of carbon composite materials and carbon fiber molding for more than 40 years. Our in-house, full-service carbon fiber manufacturing process can help you take your idea from paper to finished product. We have the experience and expertise you expect when looking for carbon fiber engineering, carbon fiber cutting and carbon fiber molding services.
How We Innovate to Suit Your Vision
Are you set on carbon fiber as the ideal material for your part or product? We frequently work with clients who know they want carbon fiber but may not have the budget to match their vision. We are proud to produce carbon fiber parts in a variety of price ranges by utilizing our in-house services. For high-end projects, we can offer autoclave cured carbon/epoxy prepreg materials. Midrange projects can be accommodated with vacuum-infused laminates using dry carbon fiber and liquid epoxy resin. We also provide options for lower-budget projects such as hand lamination for non-cosmetic commercial or industrial parts. Our extensive experience also allows us to offer insight throughout the manufacturing process such as substituting other suitable options like fiberglass or utilizing carbon fiber for only some parts of the product while still maintaining the overall vision and quality. Our in-house engineers provide insight to help you bring your product to life with the best composite material option based on the product’s purpose and your budget.
If you are looking to convert a part from metal to a composite material, you’ll need to keep in mind whether your original part has been optimized for composite manufacturing. Though many carbon fiber companies will take your part and convert it without question, a lack of re-designing its features will likely result in issues down the line. We regularly support our customers through the process with education on best practices for composite design. By focusing on the function of the finished product, we can create simpler and cheaper parts that are easier and faster to make.
