   Different from traditional wheelchair materials, carbon fiber materials look like a piece of paper. We cut it into different shapes according to the whole design.Then it comes to the most complicated part: the workers need to assemble all parts by hand.

  As you can see, all carbon fiber parts of the wheelchair are totally made by hand. Each part has a special mould and workers will stick the cutting carbon fiber together layer by layer (The thickness of some parts are up to 14 layers). 

   The next step is to having a pretreatment of all parts through heating and pressing and send them to the grinding area to make the surface becomes smooth.

   Then what we should do is gluning. This step is similar to the weld, but more complicated. We have reserved the holes when assemble the parts, workers coating the holes with the special adhesive and make different parts combined together. 

   All glued-on parts will send to the heat treatment area, it will makes the joint becomes more firmly.

   After gluning, the next step is spray paint . For carbon fiber wheelchair, we have matte black and glossy black 2 option,

 
  Finally, send all finished parts to the assemble area, and combine all of them together. A totally  new carbon fiber wheelchair is ready.
