Vacuum Forming Molds
Vacuum Forming Molds
Most people simply never think about how things are made. Products that are manufactured using vacuum forming molds are typical of this. It would be interesting if we could have all the items made this way just vanish for a few hours' time. We would have very few car dashboards, washing machine label areas, boat trim, and airplane interior trim.
The process is really not very complicated. Simply put, a sheet of plastic is heated, lowered over an aluminum form mold, sucked into place by tiny vacuum holes in the mold and then cooled.
After this there may be secondary and tertiary operations, such as trimming, decorating and painting. Eventually, a rather nice looking part is produced that is highly functional. One benefit of this process is that it does not take long to produce the mold, compared to injection molding, for example.

Carbide Cutting Tools And Injection Mold Making
The use of carbide cutting tools in injection mold making is so commonplace that it is hard to imagine any other type of cutter being used. If all you had was high speed steel you would be very limited and things would happen at a very slow pace.
Carbide cutters, such as bull-nosed end mills, miniature end mills, ball end mills, indexable end mills, drills, reamers and all sorts of insert cutters fill any typical injection mold making operation.
Obtaining fine surface finishes and precise dimensions is always a challenge, carbide plays a critical role in this process. Because you can run at high speeds and feeds, it is possible to obtain nearly polish free surface finishes and very close tolerances.
With the newer high speed spindles in use, this becomes an even more important consideration: what type of cutting tool should I use? When you are cutting S-7 tool steel and the tolerances are +-.0002 inch, there is no doubt that carbide is the tool of choice! In fact, unless you are using diamond or CBN type materials, you simply will not be able to machine the hardened steel.

Carbide Router Bits
Just take a look around your house at all the products that are made of wood. The coffee table, the end tables, the dining room table, the chairs, stools, butcher block, hand rail, window trim, base board, and on and on.
Nearly all of these were made using a carbide router bit, most likely on a CNC wood machine. These lowly tools are really workhorses, but get so little credit and attention!
This is understandable, because we live in a service economy and manufacturing is more or less looked down upon by the so-called educated. That is one of the reasons so many things are made in low-cost countries, such as China. In the end this will be one of our downfalls, and we will lose our dominance as a manufacturing powerhouse.
