For less demanding applications where you can live without the optimized material properties of a quasi-isotropic lay-up, we have created EconomyPlate. Our EconomyPlate sheets are comprised of orthotropic (non quasi-isotropic) laminates utilizing a twill weave at 090 orientation, while maintaining a symmetrical and balanced laminate. For most sheet thicknesses, we offer a finish on one side of either high gloss, matte or textured and on the other side, a textured finish providing an excellent bonding surface. As with all DragonPlate solid carbon fiber sheets, EconomyPlate is composed entirely of a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix. CNC machining is also available with EconomyPlate solid carbon fiber sheets.

Dyneema, the world's strongest fiber, is respected as the premium brand for Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE). DragonPlate offers carbon fiber sheets with a Dyneema core. These sheets maintain the majority of the stiffness of a solid all-carbon fiber laminate due to a combination of carbon fiber skins and a 7030 carbonDyneema ratio core. The 30% Dyneema woven into the core, however, yield a plate with exceptional impact toughness. If your project requires a balance between strength and rigidity, these sheets may be the ideal solution.

Dragonplate uni prepreg carbon fiber sheets are our stiffest and strongest flat material option for structural applications where minimum weight is essential. From military to industrial robotics to scientific equipment, our proprietary processing methods result in high fiber volume, no-crimp, extremely low void fraction carbon fiber sheets suitable for the most demanding missions. Finish is textured on both sides.
