Composite Materials and Composite Material Manufacturing Services

Companies specialising in the design and manufacture of composite materials for use in motorsport and automotive fields. Also includes links to companies supplying materials and equipment for the use in the manufacturing of composite materials.

The physical properties of composite materials are generally not isotropic in nature, but rather are typically orthotropic. For instance, the stiffness of a composite panel will often depend upon the directional orientation of the applied forces and/or moments. Panel stiffness is also dependent on the design of the panel. For instance, the fiber reinforcement and matrix used, the method of panel build, thermoset versus thermoplastic, type of weave, and orientation of fiber axis to the primary force.

Composite Materials – USA

AXIS Power Racing
Along with the proven durability of the parts I make and have made (I have never had a part or component failure, even after the part was damaged in an accident), one of the most important things my customers have said is that I made and delivered on time and on budget as promised. A rarity in the motorsport business today. Today I still do all the work myself to insure quality control and I only use the best materials available, some of the which are the same materials used by some of the top aerospace and F1 teams.

I always look forward to making unique and one off parts that would be too costly to have made anywhere else. So if there is any project which requires light weight, durability, and a lower cost, please feel free to contact me via phone with your requirements. I have worked from CAD drawings, sketches, and phone conversation to produce working parts.
