Description

ForgeTEX^® Glass forged carbon fiber fabric provides an even layer of precision cut carbon fiber/dyed glass fiber blend fused to a lightweight carbon fiber backing. Material is approximately 35 inches (88.9cm) wide. Photos of cured sheet shown for reference only.

The easiest way to cut ForgeTEX^® is with a sharp rotary cutter. ForgeTEX^® does not stretch, but it can be easily pieced together for complex or large parts with the joints blending seamlessly into the pattern. ForgeTEX^® should be handled minimally and gently during the production process to avoid excessive loss of carbon fiber pieces.

ForgeTEX^® is a dry carbon fiber fabric, not a pre-preg, so you will need to apply resin to create finished parts. We generally recommend a clear/cosmetic grade, low viscosity epoxy resin. Resin may be applied by hand to the back of the sheet or by vacuum infusion. Brushing resin onto the front surface is not recommended as this will dislodge the chopped pieces and damage the pattern.

For suggestions on how to use ForgeTEX^® for skinning/wrapping, please reference our video tutorials available on YouTube.
