Published envelope
F1 states a maximum section envelope near 600 × 300 mm, walls from 1.5 to 30 mm, standard lengths to 14 m and typical tolerance of ±0.25 mm.
F1-FORM · ENGINEER-TO-ORDER PULTRUSION
F1 Composites Custom Pultruded Profiles
F1-FORM is F1 Composites' engineer-to-order route for constant-cross-section parts that do not match a standard catalog shape. Programs move from application and geometry review through material architecture, tooling, trials, approval and repeat production.

Supplier-reported capability envelope
Published figures are screening guides, not a guarantee that every submitted drawing is pultrudable. The controlled drawing, material specification, first-article plan and purchase order define the production requirement.
The supplier describes glass, carbon, basalt, aramid and hybrid reinforcement with several thermoset resin systems. Feasibility, properties, tolerance and economics remain geometry-, material- and volume-specific.
PRODUCT TYPES
What this family covers
Material architecture
Reinforcement, resin, orientation, veil, color and surface finish are selected around function and process feasibility.
Development route
Drawing review, design for pultrusion, tooling, trial material, first-article approval and controlled repeat production.
APPLICATION FIT
Where to evaluate it—and where to pause
Typical fit
Repeat-volume building, window, solar, transport, battery, electrical and industrial parts where corrosion, insulation, thermal performance or low mass justify tooling.
Process boundary
Short, highly variable, deeply three-dimensional or heavily cross-loaded parts may suit another process. Connections, cut-outs and machining need early review.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARIES
What the published evidence does—and does not—support
Capability, not a combined maximum
Section envelope, wall, length and tolerance figures cannot automatically be combined. Die balance, corners, wall transitions, curing and straightness can reduce the practical limit.
Order-specific validation
Define first-article inspection, agreed test methods, sampling, acceptance values, traceability and change control against the production drawing and laminate.
