Carbon Fiber Parts Manufacturer — Tubes, Sheets, Custom

Group of 3 geometrical Carbon Fiber Sheets

Combination of Fabricated Carbon Fibers Parts

Group of 4 geometrical Carbon Fiber Sheets

CURRENT, INC. is a USA carbon fiber manufacturer: we press carbon fiber sheet and plate, roll-wrap carbon fiber tubes, and make rods and fabricated parts in-house. Our Carbon Fiber is strong yet lightweight, making the material ideal for motorsports, aircraft, and marine equipment.

Carbon Fiber is available in different weaves to meet your every need.

Plain Weave

Fibers are interlocked in an alternating pattern over and under each other. Plain weave fabrics have good stability and are ideally suited for flat panels and minimal contour radius.

Satin Weave

Satin weaves are typically available in four, five, or eight harness satin. The satin weaves do not intersect at every tow. Instead the tows will float over several intersections and interlock under one. Satin weaves are easily draped to conform to difficult parts.

Twill Weave

Twills are available in 2×2, 3×3, and 4×4 twill weaves. The “twill line,” or diagonal rib, characterizes the weave. Each tow warp end floats over two or more picks. Twills are very pliable and have excellent drape while maintaining stability.

Basket Weave

A variation of the plain weaves, the multiple warp ends fill tows of yarn and are woven together while being alternately interlocked over and under each other to make heavy fabrics.

Carbon Fiber Materials for Structural and Performance Applications

Carbon fiber is selected for its strength to weight ratio, dimensional stability, and resistance to fatigue. Current, Inc. offers custom layups to match different mechanical and aesthetic needs. Weaves include unidirectional, 3K plain, 3K 2×2 twill, 6K, 12K, and many more. Carbon fiber laminates are made to spec and can be customized for all applications. Phenolic and epoxy resins are available.

Carbon fiber sheet, carbon fiber tubes and custom cut shapes are all made to order. Tube configurations are convolutely wound up to 12’ in length and come in a wide variety of ID and OD configurations starting from .093” – 9.75”. Our team supports machining, trimming, bonding preparation, and assembly work to ensure each component integrates cleanly into your system.

Fabrication Support for Production and Prototyping

Current, Inc. provides cutting, routing, turning, drilling, and finishing services to streamline manufacturing workflows. Controlled tolerances support repeatability across multiple builds, and our fabrication team assists with low volume runs, specialized components, and application specific requirements. Carbon fiber parts can be prepared for bonding, mechanical fastening, or hybrid assemblies involving metals and composites.

Applications Across Multiple Industries

Carbon fiber is used in structural panels, brackets, enclosures, aerodynamic components, and lightweight assemblies. Its mechanical properties support high performance vehicles, UAVs, marine craft, industrial automation equipment, and instrumentation housings. Electrical insulation characteristics also make it suitable for electronics and test equipment.

FAQs

What types of Carbon Fiber products does Current make?

Our company can manufacture carbon fiber in sheets, tubes, rods and custom fabricated parts. We have various fabric style options like plain weave, satin weave, twill weave, basket weave and uni-tape which each serve different functions to best fit your needs. Because we make it ourselves, you buy direct from the manufacturer instead of through a carbon fiber distributor.
