The traditional method of manufacturing wooden molds is to determine the model classification and module structure based on the casting process drawings of the parts, manually draw the layout drawings, and conduct block production and assembly. Among them, lofting is the embodiment of the two-dimensional drawing size of the part, which is also the module production standard. At the same time, it is also a key process in model design and manufacturing, which requires high technical level of mold makers. For some complex parts, during the mold manufacturing process, due to the imperfect dimensions of the two-dimensional drawings and the mold maker's incomplete understanding of the drawings, the molds produced will inevitably have problems such as dimensional inaccuracies. Most of these problems can only be gradually verified during the model manufacturing process, and some cannot even be discovered until the castings are manufactured. This not only increases the workload of mold development and delays the progress of new product development, but also causes problems such as low mold accuracy.

The application of IDEATEK 5-axis linkage machining center saves labor costs and shortens the mold development cycle. And it can process high-precision curved surfaces to produce high-precision models, thereby producing high-precision castings. With the rise of labor costs and the improvement of the accuracy requirements for wooden molds, the application of 5-axis linkage machining centers to make wooden molds will become the development trend of the casting mold industry.
