The main stages involved in mold making include: and Conceptualization: The process begins with a detailed design phase, where engineers and designers collaborate to create a 3D model of the part to be produced. This model serves as the blueprint for the mold, incorporating all necessary features such as cavities, cores, and ejector systems, while also considering the thermal and mechanical stresses the mold will undergo. Selection: Choosing the right material for the mold is crucial. Factors such as the intended use of the mold, the material of the final product, and the production volume play significant roles in this decision. Common materials include steel for high-volume production molds, aluminum for quicker heat dissipation, and silicone or rubber for flexible mold parts. and Fabrication: Once the design is finalized and materials selected, the physical creation of the mold begins. Techniques such as CNC machining, EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), and 3D pr
