Tooling and Preparation Heading 1

With 20x the fatigue life of steel or alloy, we use forged compression moulded carbon where others spec heavier and weaker aluminum parts. 

Composite moulding relies on compression formed chopped fiber composite rather than hand-layup prepregs. The material is pressed at high temperature and pressure into precision steel tools, aligning the fibers under load and producing an exceptionally dense structure with a 60% fiber volume fraction. This fiber density gives forged carbon components roughly twenty times the fatigue life of aluminum, with superior resistance to impact, crushing, and stress cycling.

Because the fibers interlock in three dimensions, forged carbon behaves more like a machinable engineering material than a laminated composite. It can be drilled, threaded, and formed into complex shapes without splitting or layer separation—operations that are far more risky with traditional laminates. This opens the door for hardware normally made of alloy—dropouts, yokes, inserts, and connection points—to be made in carbon with significant gains in strength, durability, and stiffness-to-weight.
