CNC Machines for Mold & Die Manufacturing

Match the Machine to the Mold, Material and Finish

Mold and die work ranges from roughing large mold bases to finishing cavities, electrodes and complex surfaces. The right machine depends on the complete workpiece and fixture envelope, material, stock removal, feature depth, tolerance, surface finish and tooling.

Choose by the Real Process

A vertical machining center can serve general mold plates and common components. High-speed mold machining centers should be considered where contour quality, small tools and finishing performance matter. A 5-axis machining center can support multi-face access and complex geometry with fewer repositioning steps when the application justifies it.

Information Needed for Selection

Provide finished and blank dimensions, material and hardness, workpiece weight, required features, tolerance, finish, tool list, fixture size, batch quantity and cycle-time target.
