Design and manufacture of composite production tools

The quality and manufacturability of composite parts are fundamentally determined by the accuracy, durability, and design of the production tool. Tool manufacturing is therefore one of the most critical and expertise-intensive stages of the composite manufacturing process.

 

During the design phase, our engineers take into account the technology used (e.g., RTM, vacuum infusion, manual lamination), the expected number of parts, the geometric complexity, and the required surface quality and tolerances. The goal is to develop a tool system that ensures stable, repeatable, and economical production.

Design and implementation process

 

Typical steps in tool manufacturing:

 

• 3D CAD-based design and construction

• Technological optimization (injection points, vacuum channels, locking systems)

• material selection (composite, aluminum, steel, or hybrid structure)

• CNC machining or composite tool body design

• surface finishing, coating, and final finishing

• trial production and validation

           

When designing our tools, we pay special attention to dimensional stability, temperature resistance, and ensuring a long service life.

Technical and economic advantages

 

• High precision and excellent surface quality

• Repeatable manufacturing parameters

• Optimized cycle time

• Long service life and low maintenance requirements

• Scalable solutions for small and medium series

 

A properly designed and manufactured production tool not only guarantees product quality, but also has a significant impact on cost efficiency and manufacturing reliability.
