Description: Order the kit ► easycomposites.co.uk/forged-carbon-fibre-kit Further information and links ▼ In this composites video tutorial we take a look at the mechanical properties of 'forged' carbon fibre components, made using randomly oriented short-strand carbon fibre, and compare them to the strength of cast aluminium, 3D printed Onyx and Markforged 3D printed carbon fibre. We run a series of basic mechanical tests to compare their tensile strength and stiffness and then perform a 'real word' test based on a bending load on a brake lever component made from these different materials.
