PRF Composite Materials launches its new, groundbreaking prepreg tooling system Q.tool. Designed, developed and manufactured in-house, Q.tool significantly reduces the time and costs of tool manufacture, with its uniquely designed surface and 1020 bulk plies.
Using its own class-leading RP800 epoxy tooling system, the combination of Q.tool’s new surface and 1020g/m2 bulk plies replaces the 1:8:1 system in both weight and thickness, and significantly reduces the number of debulks to as few as one. The increased speed in lay up and reduced number of debulks provides an estimated cost/labor saving of up to 50%. Q.tool also significantly reduces the amount of plastic consumables used; providing cost savings and a more sustainable tooling system.
The PRF team will be displaying tools manufactured using Q.tool at JEC World 2022 (Stand E41) and will be available for more information on this new tooling system.
