Egg Crate Composite Tooling
Reduced Cost, Increased Accuracy
Touchstone is equipped to produce traditional composite tooling ranging from low-temperature fiberglass tools to high-temperature 375 degree F carbon fiber/BMI aerospace cure tools.
CNC Patterns or master tools (source tools) are manufactured in our 5-axis machining centers and are laser tracked on a regular schedule to verify tolerances and ensure accuracy. By utilizing large CNCs, we are able to machine very large tools in a single setup that reduces costly seams, increases accuracy and reduces risk.
Transfers can be produced off our CNC Patterns utilizing a variety of laminate processes. Touchstone offers numerous construction methods allowing customers to optimize performance and cost relationships.
