How to choose the starting material.
Start with the matrix system and processing method.
Choose chopped fiber when continuous-fiber strength is not required but reinforcement is needed.
Choose milled carbon fiber powder when dispersion, conductivity or fine filler behavior matters.
Confirm target performance before selecting length, mesh and sizing.

Common application questions.
Is chopped carbon fiber suitable for visible carbon surfaces?
No. Chopped fiber is used as a reinforcement or functional additive. Visible carbon surfaces usually require woven, spread tow or laminate materials.
How do I choose fiber length?
Fiber length depends on feeding behavior, compounding process, final part thickness and performance target. 3 mm and 6 mm are common starting points.
