Machining Mould Bases to Customer Drawings

A mould base provides the structure for positioning and supporting mould components. Its dimensions, material and machined features must suit the intended mould design and operating requirements.

Custom machining allows these features to be specified for a particular application.

What Should Be Defined Before Machining?

A clear technical enquiry should identify the material grade, overall dimensions, pocket geometry, hole positions, tolerances and surface finish requirements.

Where relevant, it should also specify heat treatment and inspection requirements.

Why Drawing Review Matters

Reviewing the drawing before manufacture helps clarify dimensions, interfaces and machining requirements. It also provides an opportunity to identify missing information before work begins.
