Commonly used mold processing methods

 Mold processing refers to the use of specific tools and equipment to cut, form, heat treat and other processing processes of metal materials to produce mold parts that meet the requirements of specific shapes and sizes. Mold plays a vital role in manufacturing products, so mold processing technology has also been widely used and developed. The following will introduce some commonly used mold processing methods, so that you have a basic understanding of mold processing methods.

1. Milling

Milling is a method of cutting the workpiece with a milling cutter, which can be divided into vertical milling machine and horizontal milling machine. Milling can process parts of various shapes such as planes, curved surfaces, and gears.

2. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)

EDM is a non-traditional machining method that uses the principle of EDM corrosion to process workpieces, which is suitable for materials with high hardness and mold parts with complex shapes.

3. Wire Cutting

Wire cutting is a processing method that uses the principle of metal wire EDM corrosion to cut the workpiece, which is suitable for the processing of thin plate materials and precision mold parts.

4. Grinding

Grinding is a method of surface dressing and precision machining of workpieces using grinding wheels, which can be used to process mold parts with high precision and high surface quality requirements.

5. Turning

Turning is a method of rotating the workpiece with a turning tool, which can process parts of various shapes such as outer diameter, inner diameter, and end face.

6. Boring

Boring is a method of using a boring cutter to process the inner hole of the workpiece, which can process a variety of internal hole structures with high precision requirements.
