Bralco Space and Satellite Components from Continuous Carbon Fiber

We fabricate space use parts using additively manufactured continuous carbon fiber in a thermoplastic matrix. The result is extremely high strength-to-weight ratio which has low outgassing properties, exceptional thermal properties and excellent fatigue properties.

Continuous carbon fiber has a higher specific strength than hardened tool steel with remarkable stiffness and lightness. We produce customizable parts with impregnated continuous carbon fibers laid into part during the printing process. These 3D printed parts are made from our proprietary advanced composite materials. Bralco’s carbon composites are a superior alternative to many other materials.

Compared to Aluminium 6061:

·      127% Higher Tensile Strength

·      60% Improvement in Specific Stiffness

·      200% Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio
