Title:Rapid Tooling for High Temperature Composite Scarf Repair:This proposed effort seeks to reduce the downtime of aircraft caused by time-intensive composite repair.This will be done by reducing the fabrication time needed to make scarf repair tooling from 16-20 hours down to 4 hours or less.Handheld 3D scanners will be used to create a virtual surface of the scarfed repair site.A mold will be designed using the negative of this image.This mold will be additively manufactured using a pellet-fed, dual head platform from Titan Robotics that can print and machine the mold surface on the same machine.High temperature feedstocks capable of withstanding 450+ deg Fahrenheit will be used for mold construction.The finished mold will be used to generate an autoclaved repair patch that can be bonded on the aircraft repair site.This method is expected to provide a tool with a
