Tooling

Lavender offers a broad range of materials for the manufacture of high quality composite tools, from low temperature wet lay up tools, through to high temperature autoclave tools.

We carry a variety of tooling materials in stock, and we can supply on-site assistance to demonstrate the techniques involved in the use of prepregs to manufacture composite tools.

Lavender can also arrange for your tools to be manufactured through our network of Australian fabricators.
