Description
Advanced Ceramics Manufacturing (ACM) has developed several generations of proprietary soluble tooling systems that address the composite industrys need for water soluble tooling. These systems have been engineered via a combination of low CTE ceramic fillers soluble binders. ACM and its University research partner (Oklahoma State University) will reengineer the filler-binder system and manufacturing process to reduce the dimensional tolerance by 66% and to reduce the CTE by >60% to better match that of performance carbon-epoxy systems. The new High Tolerance Soluble (HITS) tooling will readily achieve tolerances of +/- 0.005.
