710701GATOR – GrAphene Tooling bOaRdClosedGRD Proof of ConceptInnovate UKBase Materials Ltd (BML) is primarily a manufacturer of model, pattern and tooling materials and these manufactured products aligned with a range of distributed ancillary products serve multiple manufacturing sectors, including aerospace, automotive, motor-sport, marine, foundry and other industrial sectors. Tooling board suffers from poor thermal conductivity (leading to extended oven cycle times) and delicate corners and edges are easily damaged during handling and particularly when tooling components are taken from it. It is our proposal to incorporate graphene into tooling board in order to improve both its mechanical and physical properties (particularly thermal conductivity) and make available a novel tooling board to the market with superior properties.
