Current roll-wraps carbon fiber tubes in-house from 3K plain-weave and unidirectional prepreg on precision mandrels. Tubes are cured under controlled pressure and temperature, then extracted, sanded and cut to length. Wall thickness, diameters and fiber angle are tailored per job to balance bending and torsional stiffness.
