Machinable Media for Modelling and Prototyping

When you’re prototyping master patterns for automotive parts, you need machinable media that provides dimensional accuracy and finishes to a consistent surface.

We stock a wide variety of high density machinable media designed for creating precise tooling surfaces and complex mold geometries. These materials allow for CNC machining of intricate details, undercuts, and surface textures that define the final part characteristics.

Pattern Surfacing Primers / Inmold Topcoats for Consistent Surface Quality

To prepare surfaces that ensure optimal adhesion between the mold surface and composite materials, our primers create a detailed, uniform base layer on substrate. Our topcoats provide the final surface finish that transfer to the molded part.

Cleaners, Sealers and Mold Release Agents

To prepare mold surfaces, we stock: cleaners to remove contaminants and residual materials, sealers to refine and complete tooling surfaces, and mold release agents to create a controlled barrier, allowing clean part separation without surface damage.

Fabrics Tailored for Auto Parts Prototyping and Repair

Woven to achieve mechanical properties in auto parts and component repairs, we stock a wide variety of reinforcement materials including carbon fiber, fiberglass, and specialty fibers that provide structure and directional strength to composite parts. They are available in various weights, weave patterns, and orientations to optimize strength-to-weight ratios for specific automotive applications.

Resins / Hardeners

Providing the matrix for carbon fiber, fiberglass, and core materials to hold shape when laminated, we have a large variety of resins, hardeners, and catalysts. We stock epoxy, polyester, vinylester, and specialty formulations engineered for all processing methods, cure profiles, and performance requirements. These form the chemical backbone that determines part properties including strength, stiffness, temperature resistance, and durability.

Process Materials

Consumables: Essential for prototyping or repairing parts, we carry a wide variety of consumable materials including peel plies, vacuum bag films, release films, tacky tape, flash tapes, compounds & polishes. These materials control resin flow, remove volatiles, and apply consolidation pressure during cure cycles.

To help you build, we carry many processing tools including sanders, cutting equipment, and scales.

Adhesives & Bonding Putties

To create structural bonds and seal joints, we carry a variety of structural compounds designed for assembling composite components and filling gaps. These materials tailor mechanical properties to composite substrates while offering workability for complex assembly operations.

Coatings & Paints

To achieve final appearance, weatherability specifications, and corrosion protection, we carry primers, base coats, and clear coats formulated for adhesion to composite substrates and formulated for automotive durability.

Sundries

And to help you get your projects done, we have a large selection of sundries, including coveralls, masks, safety glasses, measuring and mixing containers, brushes, squeegees, and lint free wipes.
