Low budget tool making.

Hello,

for fiber composite parts it is important to make molding tools.

CNC molding tools are expensive so I decided to make the tool at the workbench.

You need a 3D geometry and cut-curves.

For symmetric molding tools, I used wooden templates to cut with a hot wire.




Then I cut styro plates.
Following pictures and the video gives yo a overview, how to make the tool.





Kind regards
Ulrich
