Pultruded Carbon Fiber Rods & Solid Profiles
ANT Carbon Fiber manufactures solid pultruded carbon fiber rods and custom profiles for industrial and structural applications.
During pultrusion, continuous carbon fibers are aligned along the length of the product, impregnated with resin and pulled through a heated forming die. The die controls the final shape and dimensions of the profile.
This continuous manufacturing process produces straight, lightweight rods with a consistent cross-section and strong longitudinal mechanical properties.
In addition to standard round carbon fiber rods, we can manufacture square, rectangular, oval, half-round and other custom solid profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a pultruded carbon fiber rod?
A pultruded carbon fiber rod is a solid composite profile made by pulling continuous carbon fibers and resin through a heated forming die. Most fibers run along the rod length.
2. Are pultruded carbon fiber rods solid or hollow?
Pultruded carbon fiber rods are solid. A hollow product should normally be described as a pultruded carbon fiber tube.
3. What shapes are available?
Common options include round, square and rectangular rods. Oval, half-round and other custom solid cross-sections can also be manufactured after mold evaluation.
4. Can you manufacture custom sizes?
Yes. Custom dimensions and lengths are available, subject to mold feasibility, tolerance requirements and order quantity.
5. Can pultruded carbon fiber rods handle torsion?
Pultruded rods mainly contain fibers running along their length. They are strongest in longitudinal tension and bending but may not be the best option for high torsional loads. A multi-directional carbon fiber construction may be more suitable for those applications.
6. What information do you need for a quotation?
Please provide the shape, dimensions, length, quantity, application, performance requirements and delivery country.

Lightweight Multi-Cell Gantry Beams for High-Speed and High-Precision Machinery
ANT COMPOSITES manufactures custom carbon fiber cross beams for CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, dispensing systems, industrial automation and precision motion platforms.
Our machine beams combine a closed multi-cell structure with application-specific carbon fiber reinforcement. Compared with conventional metal cross beams, an optimized CFRP design can reduce moving mass by more than 40% while maintaining the stiffness and dimensional stability required by high-speed equipment.
Pultruded Carbon Fiber Strip & Flat Bar
ANT Carbon Fiber manufactures pultruded carbon fiber strips using continuous carbon fibers and a controlled resin system. During production, the fibers are aligned in one direction, impregnated with resin and pulled through a heated die to create a consistent flat profile.
This continuous process gives the strip high strength and stiffness along its length. It also provides stable dimensions, smooth surfaces and reliable batch consistency.
Our carbon fiber strips are available in different widths, thicknesses and lengths. Thin profiles can be supplied in coils for easier storage, transportation and continuous processing. Straight-cut lengths are also available for assembly and structural applications.
