Abstract
A method of fabricating a tooling fixture suitable for use in infiltrating a fibrous preform includes generating a model of the tooling fixture, the model being conformal and complementary to a geometry of the fibrous preform, additively manufacturing the tooling fixture by extruding a carbon-containing ink in a layer-by-layer manner, and consolidating the extruded carbon-containing ink to form a consolidated tooling fixture.
