Tooling for Composites Manufacturing:

Remmele Engineering has long been recognized as a leader in tooling technology for composites manufacturing. Remmele’s goal is to create value for the customer by applying their immense tooling manufacturing knowledge base, superior machining technology, a robust supply chain management team, and proprietary technologies. Remmele understands that their customers need a supplier that meets tooling’s complex needs and aims to exceed a project’s requirements every time.

Remmele specializes in tooling derived from metals, including Invar, aluminum, and steel. These tooling options have long delivered predictable and reliable results for aerospace OEMs for decades. In particular, Remmele’s extensive experience with Invar tooling manufacturing is a distinguishing feature in the composites tooling industry.

Remmele is a machining industry leader in terms of precision machining. For composite tool manufacturing, close tolerances are a necessity for producing a composite component. Remmele’s internal quality systems, continuous improvement efforts, and calibration program can mean all the difference between a sub-par tool and a superior Remmele tool.

Finally, Remmele can call upon several exclusive proprietary technologies when it comes to tooling manufacturing. First, Remmele has developed custom software to automate the tooling build process, including build management and sourcing functions, to flatten the time needed for a tooling project. In addition, Remmele has developed unique solutions for today’s tooling challenges. Remmele’s INVALITE™ Hybrid Tooling Design combines composite back structure with thinly machined Invar face plating to create tooling that offers Invar performance and reliability but with the significant weight reduction of a composite tool. INVALITE is ideal for large tools that may be found in many aircraft applications.
