THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF HOW LOW C.T.E. CAST TOOLING IS MADE. THE PROCESS OF RECEIVING 3-D COMPUTER DATA FOR PATTERN MAKING AND FINAL TOOL PATH GENERATION WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED. THE LOW C.T.E. MATERIALS AVAILABLE AS CASTINGS ARE OVERVIEWED AS TO THEIR C.T.C., TEMPERATURE RANGES, VACUUM INTEGRITY, SIZE CAPABILITY, WALL THICKNESS, AND THE MATERIAL'S PHYSICAL PROPERTIES. CAST TOOLING APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS OPEN FACE BAG TOOLS, MATCHED METAL TOOLING, AND TOOL DESIGNS ARE SHOWN. TYPES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM BEING FORMED OVER, OR IN LOW-EXPANSION CAST TOOLING ARE EXHIBITED. FINALLY, COST EXAMPLES OF SAMPLE TOOLS ARE EXPLAINED. FIGURES SHOWING ACTUAL CASTINGS, TECHNICAL DATA, AND EXHIBITS ARE PRESENTED.
