CW’s editors are tracking the latest trends and developments in tooling, from the basics to new developments. This collection, presented by Composites One, features four recent CW stories that detail a range of tooling technologies, processes and materials.
Part One: “Big additive machines tackle large molds,” CW editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan discusses the use of large-format additive manufacturing systems for producing production-ready molds quickly and affordably.
Part Two: “Cutting the cost and time of tooling for composites,” CW senior editor Ginger Gardiner introduces a chopped carbon fiber/PA66 material set to achieve CFRP/Invar tool performance with less investment.
Part Three: “DYNAPIXEL: automated, reconfigurable molds,” CW senior editor Ginger Gardiner writes of a CAD-driven system that cuts time for design iterations and enables cost-effective customized jigs and molded parts.
