Injection Mold Manufacturing for Plastic Housing Components

Shared by Lavorazioni Meccaniche CS
This post documents the design and production steps for an injection mold tailored to a plastic housing component, as seen in the provided workshop images. Key stages include the machining of main mold components, fitting of inserts, and initial test shots on the injection-molding machine.

Design and Simulation
CAD renderings and CAM software simulations detail the multi-plate assembly and the full workflow for 2.5-axis, 3-axis, and rotary CNC milling. The visuals highlight toolpath generation, setup verification, and finishing routines that help optimize the mold’s accuracy and fit.

Milling and Mold Assembly
Photos show each manufacturing step in a die & mold environment, from roughing and finishing operations to the final assembly of polished steel blocks. The process ensures that mating surfaces are precisely aligned, supporting high-quality molding results.

Practical Use of ENCY CAD/CAM Software
ENCY CAD/CAM software was used for all simulation and toolpath planning stages. Its integrated environment streamlines complex mold and die processes, improving reliability in die & mold manufacturing workflows.
