Composite Tooling
Creating a tool using this
process involves casting a chemically engineered epoxy around a master
and then curing it. When the curing process is
finished the master is removed leaving behind the cavity blocks as the
final result to be mounted in a frame. The proprietary epoxy has been
engineered to minimize shrinkage while maximizing thermal conductivity
and strength. The master can be produced by any means and can include
features such as the runner, gate, ejector pin holes, etc., which also
reduces machine time and decreases lead time.
