Mold Advice

[ducati]

I am trying to help my friend with his first mold. Also, this is my first mold. Very limited experience with the MasterCam and the new toolpaths.

The ops that I selected are based upon my best guess. I need some advice on if I am heading the right direction on toolpaths or is there a much better way?

 

Now the qualifiers are out of the way.

Material: 7075 Alum

Machine:

Material: 7075 Alum (machine to size except Z level slightly thick)

Machine: 3 axis Milltronics Centroid Controls (if that matters) Max RPM 5000

 

Any advice would greatly be appreciated as always.

 

Sorry, file would not attach. I can send my email.

 

Thanks

Id start by not trying to do it all with one toolpath.

 

Theres lots of features and you can take advantage of several different paths.

 

Dont be afraid to zig/zag doing 3d work either, not everything needs to be climb cut.

If i got some time this afternoon i can email you back a couplt examples.
