Abstract

A method of manufacturing a hybrid tool which serves both as a form on which constituent materials are applied for bonding or curing into a part in a desired configuration, and for holding the bonded or cured materials in the originally applied position during subsequent machining of a peripheral edge of the part by a CNC
machine tool.
