Choosing Composite Materials for Custom Product Development
How product teams can select carbon fiber, FR-4, or G10 for prototype and small-batch composite parts.
Define product goals
Clarify weight, stiffness, insulation, finish, mounting method, and budget before choosing material.
Use drawings for clarity
For custom parts, drawings help confirm dimensions, holes, slots, tolerances, and edge requirements.
Review before production
Prototype and small-batch parts should be technically reviewed before payment and manufacturing.
