At langjue mould, we’ve spent over 15 years mastering the art of crafting high-performance carbon fiber parts for industries worldwide. As a trusted custom carbon fiber parts manufacturer, we’re here to break down what carbon fiber is, its types, and how our expertise can bring your vision to life.

Defining Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is a lightweight, ultra-strong material made from tightly woven carbon strands bonded with resin. It’s 5x stronger than steel yet 70% lighter, making it ideal for applications demanding durability, weight savings, and precision—from aerospace components to racing cars and robotics.

Types of Carbon Fiber

By Raw Material

PAN-Based Carbon Fiber: The most common type, offering excellent strength-to-weight ratios for custom carbon fiber parts like drones or automotive components.

Pitch-Based Carbon Fiber: Superior thermal conductivity, perfect for high-temperature industrial or energy applications.

By Weave Pattern

Plain/2×2 Twill Weave: Classic checkered look with balanced flexibility and strength, ideal for aesthetic-focused parts (e.g., car panels, sports gear).

Unidirectional (UD) Carbon Fiber: Fibers aligned in one direction for maximum strength in load-bearing structures (e.g., robotic arms, aerospace frames).

Hybrid Weaves: Combined with materials like Kevlar® for enhanced impact resistance at lower costs.

By Manufacturing Process

Prepreg Carbon Fiber: Pre-impregnated with resin for consistent quality in high-volume production.

Wet Layup: Cost-effective for prototypes or low-volume custom carbon fiber components.
