+x+x+xHow many parts do you want to make?
Tooling board is usually about 3 to 10 parts as it degrades after every cure.
Aluminium tool will last a good few hundred to thousands of parts if you look after it.
Carbon prepreg tool is hundreds into a 1000 plus parts if you look at it.
Then tool steels like p20 that are very expensive will last thousands.
That helped me a lot thank you so much.
I am just preparing a presentation,where I have to say what molds should be used for mass production parts. Now all i want to find is how many parts considered as mass produstion!
Mass production may be 10+ of the steel moulds? $$
Well I hope not cause all my research will be a nothing....I hope mass production ti be cinsidered for 30+ composite parts
