continuous fibers

Continuous fibers are long, thin strands of material that are manufactured to be in one unbroken piece, often extending hundreds or thousands of meters. They are used in producing composite materials, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber composites, to provide high strength and stiffness while remaining lightweight. Because the fibers are continuous, they distribute loads evenly along their length, resulting in stronger, more durable products. These fibers are essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment, where performance and efficiency are critical.
