Zusammenfassung:	A tool assembly (100) includes a support frame (102) including support beams (140) and support mounts (144) supporting the support beams. The support frame is rigid and used to transport the tool assembly. A support tool (104) is supported by the support frame and includes a faceplate (110) and a supporting grid structure (112) formed with the faceplate as a monolithic structure defined by a series of AM layers (114). The faceplate has a supporting surface (116) at a top (120) of the support tool for supporting a working component (106). The supporting grid structure engages the support beams such that loads are transferred between the support tool and the support frame through the support beams. The support frame maintains dimensional stability of the support tool during transport and when resting within an allowable tolerance of the support tool.
