Supplier's Category: All Composite Manufacturing: Carbon fiber, fiberglass, and resin infusion
Composite manufacturing produces parts from carbon fiber, fiberglass, and resin systems — laid up by hand, infused, or molded to combine high strength with low weight. It covers a wide span of processes from hand layup prototypes to automated production layup.
Process choice within composites tracks volume and required consistency more than final part shape.
- Prototype and low volume: hand layup, vacuum bagging
- Mid volume: resin infusion, prepreg autoclave curing
- Higher volume: compression molding of chopped or continuous fiber

What to verify before committing a composite design
Composite part quality is unusually process-dependent — the same layup, done poorly, produces a structurally weaker part with no visible defect.
Questions to ask
- Do they test for void content and fiber-resin ratio, or rely on visual inspection alone
- What cure equipment do they have (oven vs. autoclave) and does your design require autoclave-grade consistency
- Can they provide mechanical test coupons alongside production parts
