The unique structure of Isogrid allows designers to push the performance levels of conventional composite tubes by using an array of carbon fiber ribs to reinforce an ultra-thin, infinitely butted outer shell…reducing total structure weight while yielding tubes that are stronger, stiffer and more durable than conventional composite tubes

The orientation, size and density of the actual ribs allow engineers to tune the performance levels to the specific requirements of each application, depending on loads being applied. Simply stated, Isogrid allows designers to put material where they need it and remove it from where they don’t.
