ABSTRACT:
A methodology40for producing a laminated tool10having desired dimensional accuracy. The tool10is produced by the use of several sectional members, such as sectional members14, 16which are selectively coupled and which are measured. The measurement is used to determine whether to selectively press these previously coupled sectional members14, 16to ensure that their coupled arrangement has a desired dimensional accuracy. Additional measurements and needed pressing operations are accomplished each time a new sectional member is added to the previously coupled sectional member combination.
