Tips on Creating Composite Tube Drawings
At Goodwinds Composites, we’re the experts in designing high performance wrapped composite tubes, and we’re happy to do so just based on conversations with you about your application. However, if you have access to design software and want to create a tube drawing, here are some recommendations to get you started:
- Include every measurement you can think of, but especially inside and outside diameter and overall length
- What your tolerances are
- Whether or not you want your tube tapered
- Material type
Further Questions
Once we’ve reviewed your drawings, our engineering team will have lots of questions, such as:
- How stiff do you need your composite tube?
- What kind of hoop strength do you require?
- How flexible does your composite tube need to be?
- What kinds of forces will be placed on the composite tube (impacts, bending, heat)?
- What secondary processes do you want (sanding, grinding, notching, holes drilled, chamfer, etc)?
We know how important your project is to you, and we would be happy to sign an NDA so we can have a confidential discussion about your specific application.
Custom designed wrapped carbon tubes are ideal components for a variety of products in a myriad of industries. From pool cues to scientific sampling equipment, drone parts to Li-ion battery casings, we engineer and manufacture wrapped composite tubes to be revolutionary structural components.
