  1. Yale Engineering: A cheaper, sustainable alternative to carbon fiber. “Researchers in the lab of Professor Liangbing Hu … have found a way to upgrade cheaper material into something comparable to carbon fibers. And in doing so, they managed to put the greenhouse gas methane to good use, as well as produce hydrogen as a clean side product.”

  3. The beast #bicycle gets a hard, unpadded #carbonfiber saddle. The metamorphosis is complete.

  4. Space-age materials are changing how motorcycles feel, age, and perform. From carbon fiber to titanium, this shift brings lighter rides and deeper trust. What material excites you most on your bike? #MotorcycleEngineering #CarbonFiber #Titanium #RideLight #PerformanceBikes #GoodOldBandit

  5. It's true, PLA-CF is mostly useless, it's hard to find an advantage over regular PLA. "I built a thing" shows what happens in details with electron microscope and CT scanner as well as physical testing. Impressive images!

  7. 🔬✨Breaking #news from the Department of the Blindingly Obvious: Computer simulations can make carbon fiber stronger! Who knew?! 🤔 Meanwhile, somewhere in the labyrinth of ORNL's website, actual carbon is crying in a corner, wishing it could just work out at the gym instead. 🏋️‍♂️💥

  9. Today, I finished making a #ForgedCarbon #CarbonFiber #Baker 's lame. This was an idea I had for a while and finally had the time to realize it.

    I first designed the part in CAD, then designed and printed a PETG compression mould for it. A generous coating of waxy release agent, and strategically placed holes for a pin punch allowed for a relatively easy demoulding.

    After a lot of sanding and a good few gel coat applications, and more sanding and polishing, I finally have a usable lame!

    To hold the blade, I simply drilled a hole for an M3 screw which is glued in place, then found these aluminium thumb-nuts which look rather slick. There is a very slight curvature to the blade holder, and some protruding geometry to prevent the blade from rotating.

    I realize I could have used tighter clearances on the mould because a lot of fibers moved into the gap between the two halves during compression.

    Fun project!

  11. 🚗 Oh, look! #McLaren, the magician of auto-gadgets, has conjured up a new carbon fiber tape that's apparently so complex it could fold space-time itself. 🌌 But fear not, mere mortals, you'll only need to sell your soul (and your house) to afford these futuristic Lego pieces. 🏠➡️🚗

  13. A good video from "I built a thing" that may surprise you about carbon fibre filaments. Their only advantages are probably appearance and reduced shrinkage.

    In addition to poorer mechanical properties, they may also be carcinogenic!
