CNC Mold Machining Process: A Comprehensive Guide

Release time:2025-07-29     Number of views :


As a professional CNC Machining service provider, EMAR specializes in delivering precision-engineered solutions for industries requiring high-accuracy mold production. This article will walk you through the complete CNC mold machining process, highlighting our technical expertise and quality assurance protocols.

CNC Mold Machining Process: A Comprehensive Guide(图1)

1. Design and CAD Modeling

The process begins with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) modeling, where our engineers convert client specifications into 3D digital blueprints. Using advanced software like SolidWorks or AutoCAD, we optimize designs for manufacturability while ensuring tight tolerances (typically ±.005mm for mold components).

2. Material Selection and Preparation

We use premium-grade tool steels (P20, H13, S7) or aluminum alloys (6061, 7075) based on application requirements. Raw materials undergo ultrasonic testing to verify internal integrity before machining begins.

3. CNC Programming

Our CAM programmers generate toolpaths using Mastercam or PowerMill, selecting optimal:

Cutting tools (carbide end mills, ball nose cutters)

Spindle speeds (15,000-30,000 RPM for high-speed machining)

Feed rates (optimized for material and surface finish requirements)

4. Precision Machining Operations

The CNC mold machining involves sequential processes:

Roughing: Removes 80-90% material using high-efficiency milling strategies

Semi-finishing: Achieves near-net shape with .1-.2mm allowance

Finishing: Delivers Ra .4μm or better surface finish

EDM (if required): For complex geometries or hardened steels

5. Quality Control and Inspection

Every mold undergoes rigorous inspection using:

CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) for dimensional verification

Surface profilometers for finish analysis

Optical comparators for profile checking
