Much-respected composites publication Hi-Performance Composites featured Coastal Enterprises in their July issue. The article, written by Sarah Black, examines the cost-savings polyurethane foam blocks can provide for certain layup tooling applications, referencing the famous Nemesis Air Racing plane of which many parts were produced from Precision Board molds.
Also discussed:
- Time-saving benefits of custom, pre-bonded Precision Board blocks
- Why metal tooling can increase cost, weight and lead time
- Reducing witness lines when bonding tooling board
- Temperature ramp up/down procedures for PBLT (up to 200˚F) and PBHT (up to 300˚F)
