Hi Yakov,

Your terminology is a bit mixed up.
The product is a tooling board, named RenShape.
It is manufactured by Ciba, and the name RenShape is only
used in the USA. In the rest of the world the product is called
Cibatool Block Material.
It is in fact a polyurethane based material, density ca 650 kg/m3.
Behaves like wood without directional differences: ideal for milling
prototypes (other densities available too).

More information:

There are several other manufacturers in Europe producing almost
identical tooling boards.

Best Regards,

Lex Lennings.
