To meet the underbody brace requirements, Avient’s Glasforms™ technologies were recommended to produce continuous fiber-reinforced braces.
For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials.
Materials and processes such as fiber type, fiber volume, resin type, and surface veils and treatments can be engineered to meet specific properties and application requirements.
This means that they are weaker in the direction perpendicular to the fibers.
