Advanced Milling Techniques in Mold-Making

Precision in Milling
Thanks to a private engineer for sharing insights into the use of gantry-style CNC milling machines in the die and mold industry. The video showcases advanced subtractive milling processes where rotating spindles cut recessed profiles into white foam or composite blocks. Such precision in CNC milling is critical for creating molds and patterns that serve as the foundation for high-quality tooling and prototyping applications.

Application of ENCY CAD/CAM Software
As illustrated in the footage, the machines are executing 2.5x and 3x milling to shape blocks effectively. The carving of long recessed pockets and contoured cavities demonstrates ENCY CAD/CAM software’s capability to handle complex toolpaths efficiently. With fine foam dust and polished results evident, this process supports essential workflows in composite mold-making, ensuring superior precision and consistency.
