Often used for structural framing, machinery components, and robotics, these carbon fiber tubes are as stiff as steel yet a fraction of the weight. Carbon fiber is known for its use in the aerospace industry where a balance of weight and strength is vital. Because they are lightweight, they reduce wear and stress on motorized parts, which increases the life of machinery. These tubes are constructed with layers that alternate fibers in two directions, making them difficult to bend.
The checked pattern on these tubes keeps fibers from splintering when the tubes are cut, making them easy to machine. It also has a classic carbon-fiber look. These tubes are glossy and can be sanded for a matte finish.
