1. Technical Field
The disclosure relates to a method for forming a fiber material component.
2. Description of Related Art
Carbon fiber is made of extremely thin fibers about 0.0002-0.0004 inches in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousands of carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn, which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. A carbon fiber has many different weaving patterns and can be combined with a plastic resin and wound or molded to form composite material such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (also referenced as carbon fiber) to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio material. The density of the carbon fiber is also considerably lower than the density of steel, which makes the carbon fiber ideal for fabricating applications because of its light weight. The properties of the carbon fiber such as high tensile strength, light weight, and low thermal expansion make it very popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, motorsports, electronic device enclosures, and so on.
However, it is difficult to paint different patterns or characters on carbon fiber materials, and consequently, the electronic device enclosures made from carbon fiber are plain and unattractive.
The present disclosure provides a method to obviate the described limitations.
