Plate - Carbon Fiber (Upcycled) - T800 Short Fiber - Satin - 12" (304mm) x 12" (304mm) x 0.375" (9.5mm)

These press molded plates are manufactured using remnant prepregs collected from the commercial aviation manufacturing industry. Rather than discard these remnants in the landfill, the materials are used to manufacture these advanced composite plates made of the highest quality materials. The remnants are too small for the aerospace application that they were purchased for, but large enough to make high quality, high grade carbon fiber plates in a variety of sizes and thicknesses. The result is a cost effective, high performance, and more environmentally friendly solution for plate manufacturing.

This plate is often used in knife, jewelry and pen making as the cross section reveals the unique waviness generally associated with "Forged Carbon Fiber".
