Carbon Fiber Weave:Twill&Plain

We strongly believe that a green hand must have ever wondered why one piece of carbon fiber might look different from another piece of carbon fiber.and which pattern is the real carbon fiber? And we will tell him that Carbon fiber comes in many different weaves.

The 2×2 twill weave is by far the most common carbon fiber fabric used in the rc toy industry. This fabric type follows a distinct diagonal pattern. When you think about a 2×2 carbon weave look at it as a pattern that goes over two intersecting warps and under two (hence why it is called 2×2). This makes the fabric more pliable and looser. That means it can be applied more easily because it can be stretched to curves and contours with fewer complications. However, this also means the applicator needs to handle the weave more carefully than a plain or 1×1 weave as it is simple to leave slight distortions in the weave.

The plain or 1×1 weave is the second most used fabric type in the auto industry. As you would expect it is given its name (1×1) because it looks more like a checker board where the weave pattern goes up one and down one. Plain weave is then a tighter knit fabric and is easier to handle without making any distortions. On the down side the tighter weave makes it more difficult to drape the fabric over the mold; making this type a second favorite choice for most manufacturers.

3G Carbon offers both carbon fiber weaves in twill and plain.  The majority of products only come in 2×2 twill weave and 1x1 plain.but for some drone frame, we offer electroplating fiberglass in diamond  weave and we are on the developing of forged carbon .it will come to the market soon. let wait for the good news.
