What are the common mold processing tools?

The common mold types on the market are as follows: plastic mold, die casting mold, wax mold, silicone mold, rubber mold, blow mold, suction mold, hardware mold (including blanking, punching, forming, drawing, continuous mold, composite mold, etc.), powder metallurgy die casting mold, etc.
When the mold manufacturer receives a new product to open the mold, it will first ask the mold designer to draw a general drawing of the basic structure of the product opening mold, so that the mold blank can be ordered first, and then the internal details of the mold and the processing drawings can be designed. Some mold factory in the order of mold blank will be directly called mold blank directly smooth in place, so that the blank back after not smooth those surfaces. In order to save the cost, some mold manufacturers will buy the blank material with allowance, and have their own smooth surface. In this way, the CNC tools commonly used for milling face include indexable face milling cutter and corn milling cutter for side milling.
1. When starting to mill the inner frame of male and female dies, the commonly used CNC cutters include R-shaped ball end cutter, R-angle cutter, square shoulder cutter, fast feed cutter, etc.
2. When some special-shaped surfaces are machined, the whole carbide milling cutter is often used (such as ball end milling cutter and R-angle milling cutter)
3. Sometimes, when some bone and rib positions of products are processed (or some flow channels), taper milling cutter is often used (because the mold has a demoulding angle).
4. When machining some holes, sometimes alloy drill, u drill will be used to open coarse and large holes, fast feed milling cutter arc milling will be used, and gun drill will be used for some deep holes.
5. Some high-end molds with high surface requirements need finishing after heat treatment (and high-speed machining). At this time, the requirements for cutting tools are particularly high. Sometimes CBN milling cutter, special alloy milling cutter with high hardness and high-speed machining, and high hardness milling cutter with changeable head are used.
Shanghai Jiamou electronics believes that the following types of cutters and blades are widely used in the mold industry: mold milling insert (1135 and 1604), integral alloy milling cutter (used before and after heat treatment), and high-speed and high hardness alloy milling cutter (this kind of cutter is mainly imported at present).
