Prototype Preparation: Based on the design drawings, make or get the prototype model to provide reference for the mold production.
Material Preparation: Select suitable latex materials and mix and blend them according to the formula.
CNC Programming: Import the CAD design data into the CNC machine tool and make programming settings to ensure the machining path and parameters are accurate.
Processing and manufacturing: Start the CNC machine to accurately process the latex material according to the preset program to form the shape of the mold.
Post-processing: Hardening, grinding, and trimming of the finished mold to ensure the quality of the mold.
Inspection and testing: Comprehensive inspection of the mold, including size, shape, durability, etc., to ensure compliance with customer requirements.
2.CNC latex mold processing steps
Raw material mixing: Mix latex, vulcanizing agent, filler and other raw materials according to the formula.
Coating prototype: Coat the mixed latex liquid evenly on the surface of the prototype, pay attention to avoid air bubbles and dripping.
CNC machining: The latex-coated prototype is placed on a CNC machine for precise machining according to the design data.
Hardening: After machining, the latex mold is hardened to improve its strength and durability.
Separation of the prototype: The hardened latex mold is separated from the prototype to form a separate mold.
Fine finishing: Post-processing work such as sanding and finishing is performed on the mold to ensure a smooth and flawless surface.
