Stress-Strain curve of reconfigurable tooling material and clay at room temperature.

• reusable

• reconfigurable to the same or different shapes after uses

• machining is simple

• can be used for resin transfer molding/autoclaving

• easy demolding when used as mandrels

• low tooling cost

• reduced processing cycle time

• reduced time for manufacturing tooling

• integrated structures can reduce part counts

• low assembly costs

• rapid prototyping

Stress-Strain curve of reconfigurable tooling material at 250°F. (Clay has no strength).

Removal of reconfigurable mandrel from an integrated structure is simple

Tooling material in powdered form

Molded circular shapes

Molded trapezoidal shape

There is no limitation to the size and shape of tooling prepared by our reconfigurable tooling materials.
