Abstract
Hybrid tooling structures are provided which include an additively manufactured thermoplastic tooling unit defining a tooling surface for receiving and supporting a component part to be manufactured, and a rigid metal support member fixed to the tooling unit. The rigid metal support member may be internally provided as an integral part of the additively manufactured tooling unit (e.g., the integral support member serving as an endoskeletal support structure for the tooling unit) which is especially adapted for high temperature/pressure processing conditions or may be externally provided as a support frame to which the additively manufactured tooling unit is fixedly attached (e.g., the frame serving as an exoskeletal support structure for the tooling unit) which is especially adapted for ambient room temperature/pressure and loads during processing conditions.
