Material Notes:

HexTOOL™ Tooling Compound is randomly layered strips of uni-directional prepreg which is consolidated into rolled goods. It can be utilized as multi-ply quasi-isotropic hand lay-up, and subsequently CNC milled to close tolerance. HexTOOL™ has proved to be dimensionally stable with the ability to hold vacuum integrity before and after machining, and after more than 500 part cure cycles. Fabricated from Hexcel's BMI resin HexPly® M61, HexTOOL™ tools are ideally suited for 356°F (180°C) cure carbon fiber tools. This makes them lighter weight, more energy efficient than tools made of steel or Invar®, and more cost-effective with tighter mold tolerance than standard composites.Information provided by Hexcel
