Substituting conventional steel alloys by carbon fibre composites in structural parts of an existing laser cutting equipment

In the present work, Finite Element Analysis (FEM) was employed to validate the use of advanced carbon fibre composites as replacement of traditional low-alloy steel in the construction of the main runway frame structure of a laser cutting equipment currently available in the market. This new compos...
