Tooling Materials

Burnham's trademarked Fiber-Lok line is utilized as reinforcement or sub-structure in composite tooling applications.  Reinforcements are delivered in standard sizes, ready-to-assemble kits, or ready-to-attach assemblies.

Burnham supports customers who make their own tool face sheets.  Customers supply surface geometry and base plane envelope.  Burnham designs the backup structure to your specifications.

Fiber Lok Fiberglass Thumb imgFiber-Lok™ Tooling Reinforcements are a collection of panels, tubes, angles, and tees that are fabricated from composite materials, which are well established in the composites industry. Boeing's  Joint Strike Fighter and F/A-18E/F, Northrop's B-2, and Raytheon's Premier I and Horizon are a few of the programs which have utilized the superior mechanical properties and performance of Fiber-Lok™ Tooling Reinforcements. Custom product development, custom profiling, tooling kits, and custom tooling fabrications are among the services provided by Burnham Composite Structures, Inc.

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 and thermal mass is reduces which improved cycle time.

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