Low‐cost tooling for composite parts: “the LCTC process”
Abstract
Describes the development of a low‐cost tooling system for the manufacture of composite aircraft parts. The ability to withstand a high temperature autoclave process and provide a high tolerance life expectancy in excess of ten prototype units were key factors in the development of the system. The process uses a syntactic epoxy moulded over an aluminium core to form the tool.
