What to consider when choosing
Choose the fabric for the part and its finish
For a visible carbon part, pattern and cutting stability are part of the purchase. The polyamide-stabilised carbon fibre fabric is described for cosmetic applications and complex cut shapes because it helps hold warp and weft together. 1K fabrics and decorative references offer other appearances to compare before preparing patterns.
Not every twill behaves alike: the TC203 data sheet does not recommend this fabric for complex cosmetic shapes because the yarns can separate. Consider areal weight, width and construction as well as appearance; integrated colour in Hypetex fabrics does not make them finished parts.
The listing also includes carbon fibre mat for parts and moulds and chopped carbon fibres for forged effects. These are alternatives in appearance and construction, not equivalent fabrics. For hand impregnation of dry fabric, compare epoxy laminating resins; for infusion or RTM, browse epoxy resins for infusion and RTM and select a system compatible with the chosen fibre reference.
