The challenge for moldmakers with multi-axis machines is to generate CNC programs that fully exploit the capabilities of these machines. The goal is to take full advantage of the additional axes of movement—whether on the table or in the tool head—in the most efficient manner while producing an outstanding surface finish. […]
The old fashioned way but still being used by some mold manufacturers. Designing a mold cavity and core in 2D. Some mold designers may use different procedure. You can use Autocad, UGNX, ProE, or just plain tracing paper and pencil in this mold design tutorial. 1) Calculate for the mold dimension using the shrinkage factor. [...]
Without the CNC programmer, any modern plastic injection mold making operation grinds to a complete stop-quickly! Just consider for a moment just how many machines use the CNC programmer…. […]

This checklist can be used as a general reference guide for injection mold design engineers. It is divided into 3 parts of a mold design process. Part 1 – Requirements to start your mold design: Check the injection machine where the mold is to be mounted. This will help you decide the size and structure [...]
If you want to create works of art on metal, wood or plastic or even want to make artistic furniture right in your home then you need not worry about buying costly CNC machines. You can make a homemade CNC machine and express your creativity without straining your finances. […]
Injection molding is an economical and very efficient method of producing plastic parts. It can produce millions of parts with exactly the same shape, dimension, and quality. Some examples of injection molded parts are the mobile phones, mouse, keyboard, and many components found inside the automobile. […]
