100% carbon fiber cloth roll 3K 200gsm plain weave

Carbon fiber patterns

Plain Weave

This weave pattern looks like a checkerboard with evenly spaced squares.

Pros

• The stiffest and most stable carbon fiber weave due to the short space in between weaves

Cons

• Due to the frequency of weaves, this weave has a frequently occurring harsh crimp angle - the angle formed as a result of a strand starting above another strand then going underneath. A stress concentration can build up in these angled parts which can weaken the part over time.
• Due to the stiffness of the sheets, it is the most difficult to form into rounded or bent shapes. As such it is best suited for flat plates.
