Carbon fiber’s properties make it an ideal material in everything from robotics to medical devices to consumer goods. Over the past 15 years, we’ve helped partners like Boeing, Apple, and NASA along with a host of small scale manufacturers put it to work in their products.
INDUSTRIES
We’ve been partnering with manufacturers from a wide range of industries since 2008. From consumer goods to industrial manufacturing, we’ve done it all. Our experts will guide you through the process to bring your project to life from prototype to mass production.
Lend a sleek, understated sophistication to your product — from eye-catching high gloss to a more subtle satin look.
Carbon fiber is strong, light, and rigid. Its ability to withstand daily wear and tear in manufacturing applications is unsurpassed.
Biologically inert, radiolucent, lightweight, and durable, carbon fiber is ideally suited to the demands of the medical industry.
Mechanically superior to G10 and Micarta, our zero porosity carbon fiber reduces weight and gives an innovative look to knives.
Upgrading key components to lightweight, high-performance carbon parts increases efficiency, reduces motor and actuator loads, and enhances reliability.
Carbon components are extremely strong, durable, and lighter by up to 75% when compared to parts made of wood or metal — with minimal maintenance required.
Fixed-wing or rotor, the lighter it is, the longer it stays airborne. Carbon fiber made unmanned aerial vehicles what they are today.
Carbon fiber parts take a car to another level. In addition to their good looks, they enhance efficiency, performance and durability in automotive applications.
Applications
Our zero porosity carbon fiber brings unprecedented performance and style to a broad range of applications. Discover how we’ve partnered with innovative companies to find optimal solutions for their engineering and business challenges.
A customer working with electron and photon optics contacted us for a carbon fiber dampening arm, requiring unidirectional carbon fiber offset at specific angles to provide the precise degree of rigidity and stability they required.
These customized wheelchairs include carbon fiber side guards, foot plates and seat plates designed specifically for each user. We develop made-to-fit parts for every one of their customers.
One of our UAV customers creates drones for inspection and surveillance in confined spaces like tunnels, electrical vaults, tanks and underground mining — places that are dangerous or impossible for humans to go.
An innovative boat builder that makes high performance, collared, aluminum boats with industry-leading safety features came to us for carbon fiber dash panels and interior surfaces.
One of our customers specializes in powered exoskeleton technology that helps patients stand and walk during rehabilitation. They required an extremely strong, lightweight material and carbon fiber fit the bill.
This customer approached us with finished prototypes that he wanted to produce in quantity. Our challenge was to develop the molds and production system to replicate the cases on a large scale while maintaining their handcrafted detail.
Protech partnered with Seattle’s Common Fibers to bring their vision for a high-tech, lightweight, RFID-blocking wallet to life. The resulting products are stylish, sleek, high quality and protect your information.
We work with Roush Yates providing light, durable parts that can withstand the heat of a race car engine. They’re now standard in certain engines and are winning races again and again.
Knife makers and manufacturers are always looking for new materials and innovative ideas that will set their products apart. These customers inspire us to keep looking for new materials, layups and production methods to give them an edge.
CUSTOMIZATION
We can fabricate carbon fiber sheets in any thickness: from a thin, flexible 0.01” veneer to thick, structural 1” plates — and everything in between.
Whether you need just a few parts or thousands, our in-house machining team can cut your carbon fiber parts to a tolerance of 0.005” to ensure a perfect fit every time.
Choose from high-gloss, satin, semi-gloss, or matte finishes, a range of colored or marbled sheets, high performance adhesives, sandwich panels, and more.
DIVERSE CLIENTS
We’re honored to partner with customers across a wide range of industries, from Boeing, Apple, and NASA to startups and
small scale makers. Over the past 15 years, we’ve seen and done it all. If you have a project in mind, let’s talk.
