MOLD FABRICATION: Milling

A double-curved surface was discretized into 32 elements that could be milled out of a straight MDF(Medium-Density Fibreboard) board of the dimensions (*2.5x0.6*0.03* meters). The geometry allowed using a 3-axis CNC machine for the operations involved. The milling strategy involved:

1. 2. 3. Roughing Profiling Finishing

The total milling time was about 6 hours. These parts were assemble d together in the next stage to take the shape of the mold
