European based customer had specific requirements for tooling made from Invar and asked North West Aero to our vast experience with this material to manufacture a number of layup tooling. The tooling will used for making a number of components for the new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft.
Invar is a very robust alloy that can be difficult to work with, however once complete it is extremely stable in Autoclaves. No mistakes can be made when making this tooling as any mistake can be costly with Invar being one of the most expensive materials utilised in tooling manufacture today.
