Machining Of Mold Inserts and Dies
Molding is a quite profitable process for manufacturing industries when it comes to creating parts of various shapes and designs. The method ensures an efficient production along with bulk product creation and high accuracy. The machining of molds, dies and housing depends on various factors such as shape, design, dimensions, tolerance, various parts, die and mold materials, and also the sequence of production. Industries have their own needs of dies and molds. Plastic industry uses injection molding, extrusion, hot pressing or blow molding. Dies are intended for casting and forging. Dies allow the production of parts made of sheet metal by the methods of bending, sheering or drawing. Dies and molds are also essential for powder metallurgy manufacturing. Die and mold materials depend on the product design, product material, and also the production method. For instance, molds for creating plastic parts are usually made of stainless steel, steel or aluminum. In some cases, half mold ma...
