CNC-Ready Panels & Plates

Rigid Carbon Fiber Sheets

Engineered for Structural Parts & Repeatable CNC Machining

Rigid carbon fiber sheets (CFRP panels/plates) are laminate composites selected when high stiffness, low weight, and dimensional stability are critical. Typical uses include UAV/drone frames, RC chassis, jigs & fixtures, robotics plates, and other precision components that require consistent machining results.

Unlike flexible veneers or cosmetic skins, rigid sheets are built with defined fiber orientation, controlled thickness, and structural UD core options (such as T300 or T700) to support practical load paths and reliable edge quality during cutting and drilling.

CNC Cutting & Machining Notes

Rigid CFRP laminates are well-suited for CNC cutting when geometry, tooling, and process are aligned. For better edge integrity and repeatability:

  • Use internal corner radii instead of sharp inside corners
  • Avoid extremely thin bridges around cutouts
  • Prototype first for complex geometries or tight cosmetic requirements
  • Send DXF or STEP files for cut-to-size and CNC quotation

Manufacturing & Quality Control

Surface Inspection (piece-by-piece)

Every sheet is inspected on both sides before packing. Checks focus on weave alignment, surface pinholes/void appearance, scratches, foreign particles, resin-rich/lean visual areas, and handling marks—supporting cosmetic consistency and machining readiness.

Applications (by target audience)

UAV / Drone structural engineers

Rigid laminates provide high rigidity and vibration resistance for frames, arms, and plates. Share your load direction and thickness target to align layup selection with real mounting and load constraints.

Medical device procurement / engineering teams

Medical panels often require defined finish requirements for repeated cleaning. Confirm your cleaning method and target finish (gloss or matte). Coated-look surface treatment can be discussed when required.

Automotive performance modification shops

Aero panels should include reinforced mounting zones to handle clamp loads, vibration, and edge stresses. Send your mounting layout to reduce the risk of local crushing or edge damage.

Industrial robotics / machinery designers

For lightweight plates and frames, match fiber orientation to load paths and use cut-to-size/CNC service to reduce assembly time and rework.

  • Bulk orders: Volume pricing available. Neutral packaging and custom labeling can be arranged upon request.

FAQ

Can you cut custom shapes, holes, or pockets?

Yes. Send your DXF or STEP files for quotation.

What’s the difference between UD T300 and UD T700 core?

Both are UD structural core options. The selection depends on stiffness/strength requirements, thickness, and the part’s load case.

Are forged/colored surfaces only decorative, or can they be structural?

They can be structural. Surface style can be selected for aesthetics while the internal UD core and layup are built for stiffness and strength.

Will CNC cutting cause fraying or delamination?

Edge quality depends on geometry, tooling, and process settings. For complex designs or tight cosmetic requirements, prototyping is recommended.

What finishes can you provide?

Gloss, matte, and semi-gloss laminate finishes. Coated-look surface treatment can be discussed when required.

Which layup is better for torsion-heavy parts like arms or brackets?

±45° layers are commonly used to improve torsional behavior, while 0/90 supports plate-like loads. Share load direction and part geometry for a practical recommendation.
