UNIDIRECTIONAL carbon
Unidirectional carbon fibers in the component exactly where it is required
Unidirectional (UD) fabric is one in which main, long, structural fibers are oriented in one direction, held in place by secondary non-structural stitching threads.
Structural orientation can be in 0 or 90”. Unidirectional fabrics offer the ability to place fibers in the component exactly where required and in the optimum quantity.
