Applications of Fiber-lok Laminate Panels by Burnham Composites

The Fiber-Lok™ Truss System provides design flexibility to the composite tooling industry. By utilizing the Truss System, 40% to 50% of a tool's closed surfaces, which may be unavoidable with eggcrate designs, are eliminated. This improves the cure cycle efficiencies over the life of the tool.

In addition, Truss structures are often times lighter weight than eggcrate or metallic structures. Therefore, tooling handling problems are reduced.

The wide variety of sizes of Truss Systems Components (Square Tubes, Columns, and Gussets) allow designers and tool makers to provide the appropriate amount of support where it is needed.
