Everything you need to know about carbon fiber manufacturing, repair, and working with FibraHub.
// Materials
What is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber is a high-performance composite material made of carbon atoms bonded in a crystalline structure. It's 5x lighter than steel and delivers excellent strength-to-weight performance. We use it to manufacture parts that need to be both lightweight and incredibly strong.
What weave types do you offer?
We offer 2x2 twill weave (the classic diagonal carbon pattern), 1x1 plain weave, and forged carbon (a mottled, random-fiber look). We match the weave to your application and aesthetic preference.
What finishes are available?
Gloss clear coat (standard, mirror-like shine), matte/satin clear coat (subtle sheen), and raw finish. Custom colors available on request.
// Process
How does part replication work?
You send us the physical part. We create a mold from it, lay up carbon fiber in the mold, vacuum-bag and cure it, then demold, trim, and finish. The result is a 1:1 carbon fiber copy of your original.
Do I need a CAD file for mold creation?
Not necessarily. We can work from CAD files (STEP, IGES, STL, SolidWorks, Fusion 360), physical prototypes, or even concept sketches. CAD gives the cleanest result, but we're flexible.
Can you retain my mold for reorders?
Yes. If you plan to reorder parts, we keep the mold in our workshop. You only pay for parts on subsequent runs — no mold cost again.
// Quotes & Timelines
How do I get a quote?
WhatsApp us at +971 56 900 0407 with photos of your part or project. We respond within hours — not days. No call centers, you talk directly to the workshop.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround varies by service: replication 1-3 weeks, mold creation 1-4 weeks, production 2-4 weeks, wrapping 1-2 weeks, repair 2-5 days for minor work. Rush available on all services.
What's the minimum order quantity?
One part. We do single one-offs and full production runs. There's no minimum.
// Shipping
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We're based in Dubai but ship globally. If you can send us the part or we have a mold partner for it, geography is not a barrier.
How does local pickup work?
We offer in-person pickup and drop-off across Dubai. For Abu Dhabi, weekly courier runs. For Sharjah, weekly pickup every Tuesday plus workshop partners for overflow.
// Repair
Can all carbon fiber damage be repaired?
Most can. Clear coat scratches, chips, faded clear coat, and even some structural cracks are repairable. For severe delamination or structural failure, replacement may be better. We'll give you an honest assessment — send photos on WhatsApp.
Is a repaired part as strong as new?
For structural repairs using the same carbon fiber and resin, yes — strength is restored. For purely cosmetic repairs (clear coat only), the underlying structure is unaffected.
Will the repair match the original?
For clear coat damage: invisible after refinishing. For weave damage: we match the weave pattern closely. Minor differences may be visible at very close range, but the repair blends in under normal viewing.
// Care & Maintenance
How do I care for carbon fiber parts?
Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Apply UV-protective wax every 3-6 months. Our UV-stabilized clear coats resist yellowing, but regular care extends the finish life.
Will the carbon fiber yellow in the Dubai sun?
Our clear coats are UV-stabilized and heat-tested for UAE conditions. Under normal use, they won't yellow or fade. We design every part for the climate it lives in.
