Tooling Board Mold Manufacturing

Tooling board is our most popular tooling material option for low volume prototype production runs.

We always keep plenty in stock ready for orders. It is a great option for producing multiple parts with simple geometry or can be a high quality yet cost effective tooling solution to manufacture a one-off prototype of more complex parts.

We recommend Epoxy tooling board for prototyping components using pre-preg manufacturing process due to their elevated cure temperatures.

PU tooling board is a great mold material choice for manufacturing processes where parts are cured at ambient temperatures and is also perfect for making jigs and fixtures.

Our qualified engineers can advise on all aspects of composite tooling design including materials, curing, and geometry.
