In today’s competitive mold manufacturing industry, efficiency isn’t just an advantage—it’s a survival necessity. Many companies still struggle with low precision, long cycle times, and frequent rework when processing large molds. But one client found a solution that changed everything.
A mid-sized plastic mold manufacturer in Southeast Asia was facing typical challenges:
After evaluating several options, they chose the DC1317—a heavy-duty double-column CNC milling center designed specifically for large mold applications. Here's how it solved their core issues:
| Feature | Impact on Production |
|---|---|
| Double-column structure | Reduces deflection by 45% compared to traditional gantry designs |
| High-rigidity frame | Enables consistent surface quality even at high feed rates |
| Smooth linear drive system | Eliminates chatter marks—critical for mirror finishes |
| Extended travel (X/Y/Z up to 3200/1800/1200 mm) | Allows full-size mold work without part repositioning |
“Before DC1317, we had to split molds into sections—we lost time and accuracy. Now, we machine entire components in one go. Our production efficiency jumped from 65% to 95%. It’s not just faster—it’s smarter.”
— Lin Wei, Operations Manager, Top Mold Co., Vietnam
This wasn't just about numbers—it was about confidence. With fewer errors, less downtime, and more predictable lead times, the company could take on complex projects previously out of reach.
For manufacturers looking to scale without sacrificing quality, the DC1317 offers a clear path forward: higher throughput, lower waste, and better control over every stage of the process.
