Carbon Round Rod Ø4mm 1m

This round rod made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) has a diameter of 4 mm and is 1 m long. It is pultruded, so all fibres run lengthwise. This gives a high fibre content of 63 % and high stiffness along the rod, but across the fibre the rod is sensitive to shear forces. The slightly porous surface bonds well with 3D printed parts, for example for light and stable frames in model making.

Info: The rod is only available in one piece of 1 m. Several pieces are delivered as separate rods of 1 m.
