Complete Guide to CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Design

Realizing weight reduction through CAE analysis and layered optimization! Take a look at the full picture of this practical approach.

"Light and stronger than steel and aluminum" – CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is rapidly spreading as a dream material in fields ranging from aerospace to automotive and sports equipment. However, designers who attempt to replace their products from metal to CFRP inevitably encounter a huge barrier that can be described as "thick, expensive, and not light at all." When trying to directly apply the design know-how of metal parts to CFRP, the true potential of the composite material cannot be realized, resulting in nothing more than a "black aluminum" (an expensive metal substitute that is merely black). In this page, we will thoroughly explain the decisive differences between metal design and CFRP design (the anisotropy barrier) while unraveling the "simulation (CAE)-driven laminate optimization process" to put an end to the trial and error of designers relying on intuition and manual work. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
