Carbon fiber sheets are usually made of carbon fiber cloth and woven in several basic patterns:

Plain weave: This is a standard 1x1 top and bottom woven pattern. Because there is more interlacing of yarns in plain fabrics, the structure is more stable and easier to handle than twill. Plain laminates are not as strong as twill woven tightly packed laminates, which are also more likely to conform to the complex curves of some tools.

Twill weaving: twill weaving is usually provided with 2x2 or 4x4 upper / lower weaving patterns. Twill weaving has a more modern appearance, which is the design that most people think of when they think of carbon fiber products. In 2x2 weaving, each tow passes through two tow and then under two tow, while in 4x4 weaving, each tow passes through four tow and then under four tow. Because the weaving pattern is staggered, it will produce a diagonal appearance. Compared with plain weave, twill weave has fewer stress points; However, when manufacturing carbon fiber sheets, the twill woven carbon fiber cloth must be more careful to avoid deformation in the weaving process.

Harness Satin weaving: in satin weaving, the weft passes through multiple warp yarns before passing through one warp. The common Satin weaving is 4-thread Satin weaving (4hs), also known as fishtail satin, in which the weft passes above three warp yarns and below one warp yarn. Satin weaving is more flexible than plain or twill weaving, and is easy to form around complex contours, but its stability is poor.

Honeycomb weaving: in honeycomb weaving, carbon fiber is woven into honeycomb pattern, which can be well used as cosmetic covering on large surface and beautiful decorative decoration. It is less effective in structural applications due to significant changes in local thickness and strength due to decorative woven patterns.
