What is Forged Carbon Fiber?

Forged Carbon Fiber was first unveiled by Lamborghini in 2010, as a solution for making light-weight high-performance parts for their luxury sports cars. The word “Forged” in the title comes from the fact that the material is formed by taking carbon fiber and, as with forging metal, applying both heat and pressure to mold it into new shapes. Lamborghini’s process is proprietary, so at Carbon 6 Carbon6 had to build on the research available and develop our own proprietary process to create Forged Carbon Fiber that would capitalize on carbon fiber’s strength and lightness while giving the material a beautiful marbling pattern, instead of the typical woven pattern usually seen in carbon fiber products.
