Home » Materials » Carbon Fiber Sandwich Panels
High-strength carbon fiber foam sandwich panels are manufactured using advanced technology to achieve the ultimate combination of strength, light weight and stunning appearance.
- Low density.
- High strength-to-weight ratio.
- High surface area to volume ratio.
- Isotropic load response.

Product Features
Carbon Fiber Facing
Both sides of the sandwich panel have a smooth carbon fiber finish. In order to obtain the maximum strength-to-weight ratio, the carbon fiber sheet is manufactured without any gel coating. The proprietary resin technology ensures a smooth surface and achieves a “Class A” surface effect.
Foam Core
The high-strength foam core allows us to manufacture panels with satisfactory thickness and are as light and durable as possible.

Processing of Carbon Fiber Foam Sandwich Panels
Like all fiber-reinforced composite materials (such as fiberglass, Kevlar, etc.), such panels can be cut, shaped and finished with good results using conventional workshop tools (such as hacksaws, jigsaws and wet and dry saws). If high-precision CNC machining is used, the processing accuracy and efficiency can be greatly improved.
Common Applications
High-performance carbon fiber foam sandwich panels provide maximum stiffness with minimum weight, making them ideal for a range of applications. Suitable for a wide range of projects:
Automobile lightweight
Used for racing cars, new energy vehicle body, chassis or interior panels to reduce energy consumption and improve endurance.
Aircraft parts
Used for non-load-bearing or secondary load-bearing structures such as wings, tail wings, doors, etc. to reduce weight and maintain strength.
High-speed rail and ships
Used in carriage sidings, decks, etc. to reduce deadweight and enhance impact resistance.
Bicycles/Motorcycles
High-end frame or fairing materials, taking into account both lightness and rigidity.
Sports equipment
Such as skis, surfboards, golf clubs, etc., to improve performance and reduce weight.
Medical equipment
Used in CT scanners, X-ray machines, operating tables, etc., which require lightweight and radiation-resistant parts.
