Precision carbon fiber components for aerospace, e-mobility, UAV, sporting goods, medical, and robotics—engineered, manufactured, and documented to aerospace-grade standards.
Why Oregon Teams Choose CUG
- Production discipline: Repeatable processes from prototype through full-rate builds
- Aerospace-grade quality: AS9100D-driven QMS with full traceability and documented release criteria
- Speed to market: Quick-turn tooling, rapid iteration, and efficient FAI packages
- Dimensional confidence: CMM/laser inspection and GD&T reporting on key features
- Scalable capacity: Autoclave/oven cure, CNC trim & drill, bonded assemblies
What We Build
- Enclosures & housings: lightweight, stiff, EMI-conscious designs
- Fairings, panels, doors & radomes: thin skins with excellent surface class
- Arms, brackets & structural members: optimized for stiffness/weight and fatigue
- Tubes & monocoques: roll-wrapped or layup with bonded inserts
- Medical & lab fixtures: low-deflection, cleanable surfaces
Finishes & details: clear-coat cosmetic, paint-ready surfaces, edge sealing, bonded hardware, helicoils/inserts, captive nuts, and labeling/serialization.
Processes & Materials
- Prepreg layup with controlled ply books and environmental controls
- Autoclave / oven cure with recorded ramp/soak/pressure profiles
- Compression molding for repeatable Class-A surfaces and cycle time gains
- Resin infusion / RTM for large or complex geometries
- CNC trim & drill using validated fixtures and verified tool paths
- Adhesive bonding & assembly with surface prep verification and bondline control
- NDE/NDT (program-driven): ultrasonic (UT), X-ray/CT, thermography via approved providers
- Common fibers/resins: standard, intermediate & high-modulus carbon; toughened epoxies; high-temp systems (per program)

FAQs
What carbon fiber parts do you make for Oregon customers?
Everything from lightweight enclosures and fairings to structural brackets, tubes, and bonded assemblies—finished cosmetic or paint-ready.
How fast can you turn prototypes?
Quick-turn depends on size/complexity and tooling approach. We’ll propose a path that balances speed, cost, and downstream scalability.
Do you provide inspection reports?
Yes. We deliver CMM/laser reports, material certs, cure data, and (when specified) NDE results tied to each part/serial.
Can you help with design and material selection?
Absolutely—layup optimization, insert/bond design, and fiber/resin recommendations aligned to load cases, temperature, and environment.
Need carbon fiber parts in Oregon?
Send a model or drawing (STEP/IGES/NX/SolidWorks) and requirements. We’ll return a DFM note, lead-time options, and a firm quote.
