Fully Customized Composite Parts
Custom composite parts are fully customized one-off or small-batch components fabricated in carbon fiber or fiberglass to a customer’s exact design, load, and finish requirements. Built when an off-the-shelf part won’t meet the performance, weight, or geometry demands of the application.
At Custom Composite Technologies, custom parts are where we started, and they’re still the core of what we do. Whether it’s a structural bracket for a robotic platform, a body panel for a specialty vehicle, or a load-bearing component for a custom yacht, we take your drawing (or your napkin sketch) and turn it into a part that performs exactly as engineered, every time.
What Sets a CCTI Custom Part Apart
- Engineering input, not just fabrication — we work with your team on laminate schedule refinement to hit strength and weight targets before we ever lay up material
- Material selection matched to application — carbon fiber, fiberglass, or hybrid layups selected for the specific load, environment, and cost profile of your part
- Process matched to part complexity and finish requirements — vacuum infusion, wet layup, pre-preg, gel-coat
- Full traceability — every part built under ACMA-certified process control
Our Process
- Design Review — We review your drawings, CAD, or concept and advise on laminate schedule and manufacturability
- Material & Process Selection — We recommend the composite process (infusion, wet layup, pre-preg, RTM) best suited to your part
- Tooling (if needed) — We build or source the mold or pattern required
- Fabrication — Your part is laid up, cured, and post-processed in our 8,000 sq ft facility
- Quality Check & Delivery — Every part inspected throughout the fabrication process against spec and before it ships.
FAQ
What is a custom composite part?
A custom composite part is a component fabricated in carbon fiber, fiberglass, or a hybrid material to a specific customer design — built as a one-off or in a small batch when standard, off-the-shelf parts can’t meet the required strength, weight, or geometry.
How long does it take to build a custom composite part?
Timelines vary by part complexity and whether new tooling is required, but simple parts using existing tooling can often be turned around in days to a few weeks, while parts requiring new mold fabrication typically take several weeks. Contact CCTI for a project-specific timeline.
Can CCTI build a custom composite part from just a concept or sketch, not a full CAD file?
Yes. CCTI’s team can work from early-stage concepts through to full CAD packages, providing engineering input on laminate schedule and manufacturability along the way.
What's the difference between a custom part and a prototype?
A custom part is typically a final, production-intent component built to spec, while a prototype is built specifically to test and validate a design before committing to production tooling. CCTI offers both — see our Prototype Development page for details.
