Composite layup & trim tools
Autoclavable layup tools, trim fixtures, sacrificial mandrels, and vacuum-forming molds in Ultem 1010, Polycarbonate, and Ultem 9085, engineered for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective composite manufacturing across aerospace and automotive programs.
We understand the importance of high-quality tools for composite layup and trimming applications. That's why we offer Autoclavable Ultem 1010, PC, and 9085 materials, ensuring that your composite manufacturing process is efficient, reliable, and cost-effective.
Our range of autoclavable materials is perfect for a variety of composite manufacturing applications including aerospace and automotive composite layup and trim tools, high-temperature jigs and fixtures, vacuum forming molds, thermoforming tools, and injection molding inserts.
When the geometry is closed or undercut, we print sacrificial ST-130 mandrels in a single piece. The customer lays carbon fiber over the mandrel, cures the part, and we dissolve the tool out in our wash tank, returning the final composite part ready for use. That capability has eliminated multi-piece mold programs and weeks of lead time for our customers.
Built for demanding programs.
Ultem™ 1010 tooling withstands repeated autoclave cycles up to 350°F while maintaining vacuum integrity. Additional materials, including Ultem™ 9085 and Polycarbonate (PC), are available for autoclavable tooling applications requiring high-temperature performance and durability.
ST-130 mandrels printed in one piece for closed-cell carbon-fiber geometries, dissolved out after cure.
Laser-scan ready trim fixtures, vacuum-forming molds, and thermoforming tools built on the same tool path.
We routinely receive customer-finished composite parts (no CAD), scan, reverse-engineer the part, then design and print the layup mold: one stop from design to manufacturing-ready tooling.
