What is a Carbon Fiber Aluminum Honeycomb Sandwich Panel?
A carbon fiber aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel is a type of composite material made by bonding two thin carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) skins to a lightweight aluminum honeycomb core. The “sandwich” structure provides exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, making these panels incredibly strong yet surprisingly light. This design principle is similar to an I-beam, where the skins bear the stress and the core maintains the distance between them, preventing buckling.
