AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of advanced composite materials
AXIOM tooling prepregs are designed for teams building composite tools that need reliable surface quality, controlled processing, and consistent performance through the cure cycle. The product line includes epoxy and BMI tooling prepregs, with options suited for different cure conditions and production requirements.
Composite tooling programs where process flexibility, surface quality, and reliable handling are the main priorities.
AXIOM epoxy tooling prepregs support composite mold-making applications that require dependable processing and finished tool quality. They are a strong fit for teams looking for practical cure options and consistent laminate behavior during tool fabrication.
Higher-temperature tooling applications where a BMI resin system is preferred for the production environment.
AXIOM BMI tooling prepregs are formulated for more demanding tooling requirements where elevated-temperature performance is part of the specification. They help manufacturers build tools for composite programs that place more stress on the tooling system.

A tooling prepreg has to do more than cure. It has to handle correctly, lay up cleanly, and produce a tool surface that does not create problems later in production.
Designed for mold-making programs using autoclave or out-of-autoclave processing.
Supports tooling applications where cosmetics and low pinholing are part of the manufacturing requirement.
Available in epoxy and BMI systems to match different process and performance needs.
Axiom’s processing experts can help match tooling materials to the application, cure approach, and production environment.
Tooling prepregs are used to fabricate composite molds and tools for production parts that need repeatability. The right prepreg choice depends on the part geometry, cure process, operating temperature, surface expectations, and the number of production cycles expected from the tool.

CMC prepregs are used for parts requiring thermal performance up to 2200°F
Specially formulated resin systems include epoxy, phenolic, polyester, cyanate ester, vinyl ester and polyimide.
Tooling prepregs are used to fabricate composite molds and tools for composite part production. They help create tooling surfaces that can support repeatable part geometry, controlled cure cycles, and consistent production quality.
AXIOM Materials offers epoxy and BMI tooling prepregs for composite mold-making applications. These materials are designed for different processing needs, cure conditions, and tooling performance requirements.
Yes. Axiom’s tooling prepreg line includes options for both autoclave and out-of-autoclave processing. The right material depends on the tool design, cure method, operating temperature, and production environment.
Epoxy tooling prepregs are commonly used for composite tooling applications that require reliable processing, good handling, and strong finished tool quality. BMI tooling prepregs are typically used for more demanding applications where higher-temperature performance is required.
Manufacturers should consider cure temperature, processing method, tool size, surface quality requirements, dimensional stability, expected service temperature, and production volume. Axiom’s technical team can help match the tooling prepreg to the application.
Yes. Axiom Materials provides technical support to help manufacturers select the right tooling prepreg based on the application, cure process, and performance requirements. Teams can request SDS or TDS documentation and speak with a materials expert before moving forward.
