| Résumé : |
Conventional tooling for composite manufaturing is extensive and requires long lead times. 2Phase Technologies, Inc. has created Reconfigurable Tooling Systems (RTS) that can quickly produce low-cost, lightweight tooling usable in most composite fabrication processes. These systems are based upon a new class of state-change materials that can be cycled from a liquid-like state to a solid state at room temperature with no change in dimensions. This paper describes the use of the tooling and tooling systems for part fabrication, replication, and repair, as well as the production of trapped tooling for applications including filament-winding of structures with precision-located features. This reconfigurable tooling technology enables a completely new approach to many composite manufacturing and repair operations, permitting designs and innovations that previously were difficult or impossible. |
