Touchstone Advanced Composites (Touchstone) is a spin-out organization of Touchstone Research Laboratory, LTD, which has developed numerous inventions and holds a number of patents in the area of composite tooling.

Composite tooling is all about design, and the complexity of a tool often rivals the complexity of the part that it makes.

Touchstone spent ten years in the development of next-generation composite tooling before the spin-out of Touchstone Advanced Composites. Much of the development centered on tools that contained CFOAM® carbon foam. Tooling systems developed include:

Production tooling / Rate tooling
Prototype tooling
Short-run tooling
High-temperature composite tooling
Electrically heated composite tooling

In addition to building unique tools such as those made from CFOAM carbon foam – another Touchstone Research Laboratory development – Touchstone offers training in the new composite tooling technologies that Touchstone and its parent company have developed.
