With its roots in Aerospace, Precision Board Plus HDU tooling board is specifically engineered to meet the demands of a broad range of tooling applications. Both PBLT (for low temperature applications) and PBHT (for high temperature applications), possess excellent machining characteristics and dimensional stability. Precision Board Plus HDU tooling board is ideal for soft tooling and rapid prototyping because it can be more rapidly machined and it is more economical than alloy or epoxy-based alternatives. Geometric growth in the use of composites in aerospace, automotive, wind, energy and other industries has opened up new markets for this versatile product.

Features You Can Count On
- Less Dust- More Chips for a better working environment. View our sand blasting, carving and routing tips
- Environmentally Friendly- Certified Renewable Resources & Carbon Foot Print
- Closed Cell Structure- Won’t absorb anything
- Does not outgas and will not affect prepreg cure. See autoclave ramping procedures.
- Non-abrasive and can be machined with standard HSS cutting tools (can also be cut with water jets and lasers)
Our PBLT and PBHT lines of Precision Board Plus HDU tooling board are available in the widest range of densities and sheet sizes & thickness to match the performance requirements of your specific tooling application.
Individual blocks can be easily and permanently bonded to create specific shapes and thicknesses, approximating the general shape of the tool. This saves both machining time and material cost. Save even more time by letting us do the bonding for you. We are fast. Learn more about our Custom Bonding Service.
