Forte manufactures using a 4-axis continuous fiber braiding technology to produce a light and extremely strong part.
Forte’s process yields a stronger and much more durable (impact resistant) part than a typical “rolled” or “laid-up” carbon fiber part because a braided part has continuous fiber strands and no seams to delaminate.
Forte is also able to engineer the orientation of each strand of carbon to create strength and flexibility as necessary.
Features:
Continuous fibers throughout the entire part
No seams to delaminate
Stronger and more durable than “laid-up” pre-preg
Carbon purchased on spools in bulk
Allows for carbon selection
Optimize fiber architecture for strength characteristics based on the application
9 times stronger than aluminum
2 1/2 times stronger than fiberglass
30 times stronger than steel
Approximately half of the weight of aluminum
Requires less maintenance
Will not react with the metal fittings, eliminating the corrosion and paint flaking that is common to an aluminum mast
Superior in fatigue to aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium
Over double the life expectancy of an aluminum mast
Warranty: Forte guarantees our masts against any manufactures defects in workmanship or materials for life!
