"While undoubtedly proprietary, curious what adhesive or binding compound is used to produce a ZYX cantilever composed of 1000 pieces of CF composite."
Carbon Fiber is just that, tiny fibers of carbon material that are held together in a epoxy type glue. So my take on that is there are approximately 1000 fibers held together in a glue that makes up the cantilever. To make it I suspect it’s a slender purchased rod of carbon fiber and it’s probably ground down to the correct diameter on a spin index fixture on a grinder. After grinding down to the correct dimensions and examined under a microscope someone probably said "must be a thousand fibers in that tiny rod!" so they decided to go with that.
On Edit: Look at this link.https://www.ebay.com/itm/324740108562?hash=item4b9c04d112:g:yCEAAOSw4URhCq9lIt's made by pulling fibers off of a spool through a die while injecting a resin. See, this stuff is available to you and me, nothing super special going on here folks.
