Research abstract
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.
