Abstract: A tooling system for fabricating a composite structure comprising a printed thermoplastic material tooling component having a non-tooling surface and a tooling surface, wherein the tooling surface defines a predetermined shape for the composite structure. The tooling system may further comprise a printed thermoplastic material tooling base structure having a plurality of non-tooling surfaces to support the printed thermoplastic material tooling component during layup or cure. The printed thermoplastic material tooling base structure may employ a support structure, such as a honeycomb support structure or a filler material.
