A prototype mould, for low volume production, made by Thermwood on a large format 3D printer, utilising their angled layer print system (ALP). The material is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene with 20% short carbon fibre (ABS-CF20). It is printed by extrusion (the print lines are visible) and then machined to the desired dimensions. The surface is polished and painted.
