Build Composite Layup Molds in days
BlackBoard™ is a revolutionary material that uniquely enables close tolerance, direct-to-part tooling lead time to be measured in days vs. the traditional weeks and months. The simple tool build process saves hours when compared with other tooling processes, rendering the final finished tool similar in cost to steel and aluminum, and significantly cost-down compared with other carbon tooling and Invar. Users enjoy all the benefits of carbon without the cost!
