The increasing use of carbon fiber in the aerospace and defense industries has been driven by the advantages of carbon fiber over traditional metals such as aluminum. These advantages include resistance to corrosion and chemicals, higher strength to weight ratio, and greater stiffness.
The major disadvantage of carbon fiber has been the labor and capital intensity of the traditional production processes for thermoset based carbon fiber. Layup, curing, and other associated processes have proven difficult to scale.
With the intent of bringing automotive industry efficiency into the market, Yajima entered into carbon fiber processing. As a vertically integrated manufacturer of sheet metal parts to the automotive industry, Yajima understands mass production and efficiency.
Leveraging their existing sheet metal manufacturing skillsets and vertically integrated capabilities, Yajima has developed and continues to develop new methods of mass producing carbon fiber parts. Yajima USA is on the leading edge of thermoplastic based carbon fiber processing to meet the challenges of aerospace and defense industries.
