What is Carbon Fiber Machining
Carbon fiber is a high molecular weight, high strength, high modulus fiber that is made up of carbon atoms bonded together to form long chains. The carbon content is over 90%. Therefore, it is very strong and lightweight. This allows carbon fiber to be used to manufacture a variety of complex parts using CNC machining processes.
Carbon fiber machining, also known as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), is a collection of carbon fibers. It is used to manufacture high-performance, low-weight but durable components. Its versatility and efficiency have enabled tremendous manufacturing innovations in multiple industries.
CNC machining carbon fiber is a process that applies computer-controlled digital technology to remove excess material and complete any necessary cutting, turning or milling. This can be done using machine tools according to your specific programming needs before the final product can be obtained from the carbon fiber in its final form.

Advantages of Carbon Fiber CNC Parts
Carbon fiber (CF) is a term for high-strength, high-modulus fibers that have more than 90% carbon in them. Organic fibers (like viscose, pitch, polyacrylonitrile, etc.) are used to make it.
High-performance carbon fiber has great properties that can’t be found in many other materials. For example, it is light, strong, has a high modulus, can withstand high temperatures, is resistant to corrosion, erosion, and sputtering, and is easy to design and mix with other materials. Strategic new materials that are needed to make things like satellites, missiles, fighter jets, and ships that are at the cutting edge of technology.
Carbon fiber is an important new material that works very well. Its density is less than 1/4 that of steel, and its strength is 5–7 times that of steel. When compared to structural parts made of aluminum alloy, carbon fiber composite materials can cut weight by 20%–40%. When compared to steel metal parts, carbon fiber composite materials can cut weight by 60%–80%.
Precautions for Carbon Fiber CNC Machining
When using CNC to process carbon fiber products, problems such as delamination and tearing of carbon fiber materials are often encountered. In addition, the carbon fiber composite material formed by the fusion of carbon fiber and resin matrix is not difficult to process after curing. However, due to the low melting point of the resin, there may be burning during the processing due to overheating, which can cause performance damage to the carbon fiber product. CNC technicians need to fully consider the relationship between cutting force and deformation to ensure that processing does not affect quality.
When CNC precision machining carbon fiber products, the impact of oil pollution on the products should also be considered. It is possible to perform dry cutting without adding coolant, which not only softens and burns carbon fiber products, but also causes excessive tool wear. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a suitable tool.
Surface finishing and post-processing options
Although CNC machining carbon fiber provides a superior surface finish compared to traditional methods, ensuring smooth edges and surfaces. However, customers often have higher requirements for the aesthetics and performance of carbon fiber parts, so we provide you with a variety of surface finishing and post-processing options.
- Sanding
- Polishing
- Clear Coating (Epoxy or Polyurethane)
- Painting
- Vapor Deposition Coating
- Plasma Treatment
- Chemical Etching
- Adhesive Priming
- UV-Curing Coating
- Electroless Plating (for conductive layers)
- Anodizing (for hybrid metal-carbon fiber parts)
- Silk Screening
- Laser Engraving or Etching
