Advanced Robotic Machining for MDF and Composite Mold Fabrication

Shared by Andre Dagostin
Andre Dagostin demonstrates the versatility of industrial robotics for mold manufacturing in woodworking, die & mold, and automotive sectors, as shown in detailed video segments and machining visuals.

Robotic Milling in Action
The process features a COMAU six-axis robotic arm and high-speed spindle, machining large solid wood blocks and sculpting curved components. CAD/CAM simulation showcases the programming of complex toolpaths for multi-axis robot milling, providing smooth, error-free surfaces suitable for fiberglass lamination.

End-to-End Manufacturing Workflow
Visuals further illustrate the workflow, from the CNC-controlled creation of molds and drilling for prototype or bus parts to surface finishing and final painting of composite hoods. Technicians apply coatings and conduct finishing operations to ensure both durability and cosmetic quality.

Software and Technology Focus
All stages leverage ENCY CAD/CAM software, specifically ENCY Robot, enabling reliable 5-6D cutting and robotic machining for demanding industrial applications.
