Why are carbon fiber parts expensive even when the material itself isn't the biggest cost?

Iam exited to hear what engineers?manufecture here think.

When is carbon fiber actually better than aluminum?

I feel that carbon fiber is the better choice when weight reduction, superior strength, and corrosion resistance are more important than cost. It is highly useful in aerospace, drones, and high-performance applications where every gram of weight matters. What are your thoughts on this?

How do you verify the quality of carbon fiber tubes before using them in a structural project?

Hi Everyone! I was looking at a batch of carbon fiber tubes being measured with digital calipers during inspection. Besides checking the outer diameter and wall thickness, what other quality checks do you consider essential before using carbon fiber tubes in load-bearing applications? I'm interested in learning about both manufacturing and real-world engineering practices.

If carbon fiber became 50% cheaper tomorrow, which industry would change the most?

Hi Guys! One think in my mind If the cost of carbon fiber suddenly dropped by 50%, which industry do you think would see the biggest shift?

  • Automotive
  • Construction
  • Consumer electronics
  • Medical
  • Sports equipment
  • Robotics
  • Renewable energy

Or is there another industry I'm overlooking?

What's the biggest misconception people have about carbon fiber?

I've been reading more about carbon fiber lately, and it seems like a lot of people assume it's always the strongest or the best material for every application.

In your experience, what's the biggest misconception about carbon fiber that you hear most often?

I'd love to hear from engineers, manufacturers, hobbyists, or anyone who's worked with composites.
