In today’s competitive mold-making industry, precision, consistency, and flexibility aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re non-negotiables. That’s where the DC1317 CNC Milling Machine steps in—not as another tool on the shop floor, but as a strategic partner in your production workflow.
The DC1317 isn’t just built to last—it’s engineered to perform under pressure. With a rigid cast iron frame weighing over 8,500 kg and a maximum travel of 2,400 x 1,200 x 800 mm, it handles both small-scale prototypes and large-format molds with ease. Unlike many competitors that compromise on stability at high speeds, this machine maintains ±0.02 mm accuracy even during extended runs—a critical factor when producing high-tolerance plastic molds for automotive or medical applications.
| Feature | Impact on Mold Production |
|---|---|
| Double-column design | Reduces vibration by up to 40%, improving surface finish and reducing post-processing time |
| Servo-driven spindle (up to 24,000 RPM) | Enables fine finishing on complex geometries—ideal for insert molding or multi-cavity dies |
| Automatic tool changer (ATC) capacity: 30 tools | Minimizes setup downtime between operations—boosting overall productivity by ~25% |
One customer in Germany shared: “We used to lose 3–5 days per project due to rework. Since switching to DC1317, our first-pass yield has increased from 72% to 94%.”
Whether you're machining standard injection molds for consumer goods or tackling intricate structures like conformal cooling channels or thin-wall inserts, the DC1317 adapts seamlessly. In fact, we’ve seen it successfully process:
What makes it stand out? It doesn’t just do one thing well—it does multiple things exceptionally well. While other machines may require separate setups for roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing, the DC1317 streamlines the entire process into a single operation. This means fewer handling errors, less material waste, and faster turnaround times.
Your mold may have unique challenges—whether it’s tight deadlines, complex geometry, or demanding quality standards. Ask yourself: Is your current equipment truly keeping pace?
