HYDRO-SPACE HAS BEEN CAD/CAM LOFTING AND NC MACHINING TOOLING AND MASTERS FOR THE COMPOSITE INDUSTRY SINCE 1982. THIS TECHNOLOGY OFFERS CONSIDERABLE TOTAL PROJECT SAVINGS, AND OTHER ADVANTAGES INCLUDING: AUTOCLAVE PROCESSING OF THE TOOLING DIRECTLY ON THE MASTER MODEL; CTE IS MATCHED TO GRAPHITE COMPOSITE LAMINATES; EVEN HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN THE TOOL AND THE MASTER; ACCURATE, HIGH- QUALITY, LONG-LASTING TOOLS; IMPROVED ACCURACY, AND CONSISTENCY THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. 750 DEGREES F, THEN EXAMINED FOR DIMENSIONAL CHANGES. NO MEASURABLE CHANGES WERE FOUND, SUGGESTING THAT FURTHER WORK UTILIZING THIS TOOLING SYSTEM SHOULD BE PROMISING.
