Our multiaxial fabrics (or non-crimp fabrics, NCF) are available with 1-4 alternately aligned layers of unidirectional carbon reinforcement, where the carbon fibers are laid in multiple orientations (0°, 90°, ±45°, etc.) without being crimped or bent during the manufacturing process.
150 g/m2 – 1500 g/m²
Additional options for specific applications:
glass scrim
powdering
glass yarn
Unlike traditional woven fabrics, NCFs align fibers without crimping or bending, maintaining straight fiber paths. This improves mechanical performance by enhancing tensile strength, stiffness, and fatigue resistance. NCFs also reduce stress concentrations, offering better durability and impact resistance compared to woven alternatives.
- Higher mechanical strength: Straight, non-crimped fibers maximize load-bearing capacity.
- Improved resin flow: NCF's open structure allows better resin penetration during infusion processes.
- Tailored layering: Fibers can be oriented at multiple angles (0°, 90°, ±45°) for customized performance.
- Reduced weight: Optimized strength-to-weight ratio ideal for weight-sensative applications.
Star Composites offers a wide range of customizable multiaxial configurations, including unidirectional, biaxial (0°/90° or ±45°), triaxial (+45°/0°/-45°), and quadriaxial (+45°/90°/-45°/0°) setups. These orientations allow precise tailoring for specific load-bearing requirements, making them suitable for various applications, from structural reinforcement to dynamic load management. Additional customization options, such as glass scrims or powdering, are available to optimize performance further
Our woven fabrics come in two main constructions—plain weave (PW) and twill weave (TW)—providing versatile solutions for strength and durability:
3k: 200–245 g/m²
12k: (300) 400–600 g/m²
24k: 600–1000 g/m²
50k: 1000–1640 g/m²
Additional Options: Hot melt weft available for specific applications.
Woven carbon fiber fabrics are ideal for applications that require strength, stiffness, and excellent surface finish. They are commonly used in automotive, marine, construction, and sports equipment applications, such as body panels, reinforcements, and structural components. Their woven structure ensures stability, making them suitable for high-performance composites.
The interlaced fiber structure provides balanced strength and stiffness in multiple directions (typically 0° and 90°). This structure distributes loads effectively, improves impact resistance, and enhances fatigue performance. The woven design also prevents fiber misalignment during production, ensuring consistent mechanical properties.
- Balanced properties: Strength and stiffness distributed in two directions
- Excellent surface quality: Smooth finish suitable for visible or aerodynamic surfaces.
- Good flexibility: Easier to mold around ocmplex shapes compared to unidirectional fabrics
- Wide areal weight range: From lightweight 200g/m² to heavy-duty 1640 g/m² options.
Our multiaxial fabrics are engineered for flexibility and performance, offering area weights as low as 50 gsm, achieved through advanced spreading techniques. These fabrics are ideal for applications requiring ultra-lightweight options, including triaxial fabrics under 100 gsm.
Properties can be customized by adjusting structural and material compositions, ensuring the fabric meets your exact performance requirements.
With options such as 200 g/m² 50k carbon fiber, an optional glass scrim, and customizable widths ranging from 32 cm to 254 cm, we can tailor our fabrics to your project’s specifications. Custom lengths are also available, and for even lower areal weights, we provide solutions using 12-24k carbon fiber.
Our quadriaxial carbon grid fabric is designed to enhance seismic performance in earthquake-prone buildings by reinforcing critical structural elements such as walls, beams, and columns. This innovative carbon fiber solution improves strength, durability, and stability in high-risk areas.
Weight: 377 g/m²
Composition: 12k carbon fiber stitched with polyester knitting yarns
Customizable Widths: 30 cm to 254 cm
Roll Lengths: 50 m or 100 m
Hybrid carbon-glass fabrics combine the benefits of carbon and glass fibers to deliver a cost-effective solution for applications requiring a balance of stiffness, flexibility, and durability.

Biaxial: 600 & 800 g/m2 Fiber content by weight: 55-45%
Quadriaxial: 800 g/m2 Fiber content by weight: 59-41%
Quadriaxial: 900 g/m2 Fiber content by weight: 86-14%
The use of 12K carbon fibers enhances strength and stiffness, while glass fibers contribute to improved impact resistance and flexibility, ensuring reliability under dynamic conditions.
With up to 25% cost savings compared to 100% carbon fabrics, hybrid configurations deliver high performance without breaking budgets. The combination of carbon’s stiffness and glass’s energy-absorbing capabilities makes these fabrics ideal for applications in automotive, marine, and industrial sectors, where both mechanical performance and cost efficiency are key (good example of special use cases include e.g. ballistic walls).
