Carbon fibre, looks pretty simple, just some strands of fibre woven into a sheet. So why is it so expensive?

Ignoring the complicated processes required to produce the base material, just take a closer look at a carbon sheet.

The width of a single strand varies, but the one below is approx 2mm. However, this is a strand taken from a 3K carbon roll. This means that each strand contains 3000 separate fibres!
