  • Formed sheet metal composite tooling
    Patent number: 9409349
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing a tool for creating composite components. A sheet metal material is secured over a forming tool in an incremental sheet metal forming machine. The sheet metal material is incrementally shaped with a stylus to form a shape for the tool. The tool is removed from the incremental sheet metal forming machine when the shape for the tool is complete. Composite materials on the tool are laid up, wherein the shape of the tool provides a desired shape for a composite component.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Christopher S. Huskamp, Gregg Miltenberger
