Hi All,

http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/images/talkcomposites/EP700-Epoxy-Tooling-Board-Prepreg-Moulding.jpg


We're now stocking epoxy tooling board at Easy Composites HQ. In the next few weeks we'll be producing some tutorial videos about end-to-end production of really high-end composite moulds, starting off by CNC machining epoxy tooling board and then sealing the board before using it to produce prepreg moulds. Epoxy tooling board can also be used to make the moulds (tools) themselves for smaller production runs which of course can make the mould making process quicker whilst reducing cost (where you only need a limited number of pulls).

I thought I'd strike up a conversation about CNC machining patterns or moulds to see if there are any particular areas that people would particularly like to see in the videos or understand better about the process.

If you have any questions or anything to input on the subject, please fire away Smile

All the best, Matt

When you have your videos done I'll be very interested to watch, I've spent months free-forming foam for pattern parts and being able to draw in CAD then machine with CNC to a quality that gives a good prepreg finished product sounds a far more efficient and accurate process, especially if it can run whilst I'm out doing the day job!
