The fastest manufacturing process for quick turn tooling for composites. Up to 50% faster.
Monolithic Design
No welding substructures
Near Net Printing
1/4″ to net within ~24 hours
Minimal Machining
No hogging material out
Additively manufactured layup molds from thermoplastic fiber reinforced materials is filling a need for quick turn, durable solutions. Economically speaking, the greater the geometry the better the savings; deep projections and large curvature is a fantastic geometry to 3D print and save.
350F autoclave molds have been cycled 500+ times with little to no tool degradation or movement.
Thermoplastic Composite Tooling Material
Materials rated for room-temp cures to 400F autoclave curing applications
Vacuum integrity with no specialized coatings
High RA surface finish achievable
Easily repairable with COTS products
