3D Printed Sand Tools for Thermoforming Applications of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites—A Perspective

Tooling, especially for prototyping or small series, may prove to be very costly. Further, prototyping of fiber reinforced thermoplastic shell structures may rely on time-consuming manual efforts. This perspective paper discusses the idea of fabricating tools at reduced time and cost compared to con...
