Five-axis applications

Mold & Die

Lamp reflectors, mold cores and die-casting tools — free-form surfaces from R3 to R300 mm finished in one cradle setup. The high-speed point-milling process holds the surface without a hand-polish step.

What we machine.

Lamp molds & reflectors

Free-form reflector surfaces with steep curvature, machined in one cradle setup.

Mold cores & inserts

Deep cavities and narrow slots, with taper compensation for slot walls.

Die-casting dies

Hardened mold steel, aluminium and copper electrodes on the same machine.

Shoe molds

High-speed surface finishing of sculpted cavities.

02

Deep cavities, long overhangs

Vibration-damped boring holds 8:1 length-to-diameter bores inside deep cavities.

03

Mirror finishes on free-form surfaces

Fast point milling holds reflector-class surfaces without a hand-polish step.

05

Deep ribs and narrow slots

Trochoidal roughing with radial-depth control; taper compensation for slot walls.
