ABOUT
Carbonautica specialises in the design and manufacture of high quality Carbon Fibre and GFC( Glass Fiber Composite) components Since its foundation in 1998 , Carbonautica has produced specialist carbon parts for applications as diverse as professional racing bicycles, rotors for radiocontrolled helicopters and marine steering wheels.
With a manufacturing facility in Slovenia (EU), our main area of business is currently in the Marine sector where we make carbon and GFC components for many of the world’s leading yacht manufacturers as well as supplying Around the World yacht racing teams. Our current products include monocoque carbon fibre and
GFC sailboat steering wheels, boat steering wheels, lightweight gangways and high performance carbon or composite rudders. Carbonautica was the first to produce a true monocoque steering wheel for racing yachts with no bonds or seams and the quality of our work remains unrivalled. Our customers include CNB, X-Yachts, Nautors Swan, Jeanneau, Beneteau, Hanse, Bavaria, Dufour and many other leading manufacturers of sailboats.
Carbonautica has continued to grow over the years, moving twice to bigger facilities, allowing improvements in technology each time. Our own R&D houses 3m x 1.8m CNC milling machine, 3D printer, CNC foam cutter, laser cutter and laser engraver allowing us to make small compex or big moulds which we make out of aluminium for series
productions. It has allowed us to become independent from sub-contractors for design and mould manufacture and also gives us necessary tools and knowledge to develop new products or parts. We use injection molding techniks which we developed over the years to produce high quality composite products.
Customers can now send us 3D rendering directly from their design departments and from that we can produce both the mould and the finished products. All of our wheels are CE certified and have been tested in our own inhouse laboratory which is certified by IMCI
