5 steps of Carbon fiber Engineering
China's carbon fiber production capacity has increased a lot. In another two years, the production capacity will be three times the demand. Therefore, product manufacturers will also increase, and their technology and processes will be improved accordingly.Now you can basically find high-end manufacturing and mid-range manufacturing equipment and talents in China,here Share here the design experience of Chinese suppliers.
1、Carbon fiber product design
The carbon fiber design process begins with a comprehensive understanding of each customer's requirements and the generation of a formal product design document. Product and process development is based on these technical requirements as well as volume and cost considerations. In most cases, the carbon fiber design process involves numerous iterations between CAD design, FEA analysis and process analysis, and cost estimation. Depending on the client and application, different custom carbon fiber design projects require different emphasis in these areas.
Our team of engineers, designers and technicians have decades of experience in product development, research and invention. Uped combines creativity with precision engineering with the goal of helping customers develop practical and economical solutions, whether for individual part development or for the production of series parts.
2、Carbon Fiber Composite Material Database
In terms of material selection, we need to make boards of fibers of different grams and directions according to various combinations, and then test the strength and modulus of various combinations of materials, including boards made by different molding processes, as well as some other combinations of materials, etc. In this way, we have built up our own company's material database, which is used to guide the analysis of product design, and this is the actual value of the maximized restoration of the characteristics of carbon fibers, rather than the theoretical value. This is to maximize the reduction of carbon fiber characteristics of the actual value, rather than the theoretical value, so that the design of the product and the final production of the product will not deviate too much.
3、Carbon Fiber Analysis
Our current computational tools include finite element stress analysis for composite materials, including static analysis and force analysis. Our materials database, FEA experience covers advanced carbon fiber truss structures, prosthetics, wind turbines and drones in a variety of applications.
In addition to our in-house expertise, we have developed relationships with experts who can provide us with analysis support that is unusual or particularly challenging. One example is that we work with scientific research units and universities to have national laboratories test various combinations of our carbon fiber materials to achieve difference analysis between actual products and theoretical values, and serve as a material database for designed products. This provides an excellent basis for product design and improvement.
- Carbon Fiber Prototyping
An integral part of the design process is prototyping. At Yoo-better, our carbon fiber team consists of experienced engineers and seasoned craftsmen. Carbon fiber prototyping can range from simple test pieces to fully functional, near production-ready assemblies. Typically, individual components and sub-assemblies undergo extensive testing to validate design calculations and assure customers that the final product will meet all specifications.
In addition to being used to evaluate functionality, our prototyping team's goal is to achieve production-grade quality in form and function, even in the early stages of product development.
- Carbon Fiber Manufacturing
The processes we use require advanced manufacturing skills. Our team of experienced craftsmen are well versed in a variety of carbon fiber materials, manufacturing processes and techniques to ensure exceptional quality.
Yoo-better employees are experts in a wide variety of custom carbon fiber processes, including wet lay-up, vacuum bagging, ancillary molds, vacuum assisted resin transfer (VARTM), pultrusion molding, and other non-traditional proprietary methods. As a leading manufacturer of carbon fiber products for a variety of applications in China, Jiangsu Yoo-better, we also have many years of experience in CNC machining of carbon fiber, aramid and other fiber-reinforced composites. Due to the electrical conductivity, stiffness and brittleness of carbon fiber composites, machining these parts requires special tooling and often non-traditional techniques.
One of the benefits of composites is the ability to produce parts optimized for strength, stiffness and design simplicity. From the simple to the complex, we use advanced carbon fiber manufacturing techniques to create superior results. To achieve this, we utilize three core strengths: innovation, technology and creativity.
