AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current tooling structures for manufacturing component parts are costly due to high development cycles, requiring multiple processes like machining and autoclave curing, and are often heavy and rigid, making them difficult to handle.

Method used

Hybrid tooling structures combining additively manufactured thermoplastic tooling units with rigid metal reinforcement members, such as tubes or beams, to provide structural support and withstand manufacturing pressures and temperatures.

Benefits of technology

Reduces manufacturing time and costs by integrating metal reinforcement into the tooling structure, allowing for efficient autoclave curing and machining without additional processing steps.
