Milling process notes: 3+2 strategies, thin walls, fixture choices, cycle time.
Mold and Die CNC Machining: Steel Choice, Staging and Hard Milling
A programmer's view of mold and die work: why a cavity error is copied into every part, how P20, 718, H13, S136 and D2 differ in the condition they arrive in, what a staged roughing and finishing sequence really buys, and where five axis or hard milling replaces EDM.
