Use modular connector system to build complex carbon fiber tube structure

Pultruded carbon fiber has two huge benefits: cost and stiffness. Since all the fibers are perfectly aligned along the length of the part, the tensile, compression and bending stiffness are very high. The hardness of Dragonplate's pultruded tube and pultruded rod is increased by 50%, and the stiffness-to-weight ratio is more than 3 times that of aluminum. Together with the molded connector provided by Dragonplate to provide an economical way to create complex trusses and frames, the new pultruded modular connector expands design capabilities with a variety of small anodized aluminum components. The result is a range of ways to make simple and complex joints. By combining the versatility of multi-angle connectors (used for diagonal truss connections in standard molded connector groups) with a variety of simple blocks, links, and spacers, designers now have a wider toolbox to Deal with these creative moments.

The complete modular connector system is a revolutionary way to think about the manufacture of carbon fiber tube structures. In the past, carbon fiber components were almost always customized. However, this usually means high costs and long lead times. By creating a system that utilizes off-the-shelf pipes and connectors, it is now possible to simply assemble most structures with off-the-shelf parts. The time and cost savings are huge, and the versatility is only limited by the creativity of the designer. Dragonplate tubes and modular connectors have been used in a wide range of projects, including industrial automation robots, electronic telescopic components, and even stage production. In the field of automation, the ability to quickly assemble end tools and robotic arms that are lighter than traditional metal systems is invaluable. On the other hand, some theater production companies have used modular connectors and carbon fiber tubes to create large and light Stage props to make them easier to operate and improve safety.

Dragonplate continues to release new products suitable for all modular connector systems and will soon be able to combine coiled, braided and pultruded tubes and rods into a single structure. This unified carbon fiber assembly system is designed to provide carbon fiber design and manufacturing for anyone who needs to reduce weight but does not have time for full customization.
