What is a polyurethane tooling board?
A polyurethane tooling board is a machinable block of material, designed for the production of patterns, prototypes, master models, fixtures, jigs and other tooling applications.
Polyurethane boards can be bonded together to create larger blocks and CNC machined or hand styled to meet the requirements of the application.

Due to its versatility, durability and cost-efficiency, polyurethane tooling board material is favoured for a wide range of applications.
Why use a polyurethane tooling board?
Typically more cost-effective, polyurethane tooling boards are perfect for use in lower-temperature applications. They are stable and easy to mould, producing a great surface finish.
The material is lightweight and versatile, making it suitable for both hand styling and CNC machining. When machining, excess material flakes rather than produces dust.
