Summary
Specialist who performs engraving on die parts to create molds for forming plastic or metal products.
Description
Die mold engravers engrave product shapes on the surfaces of injection molding or die-casting molds. Based on CAD/CAM data or drawings, they use NC machine tools or hand engraving tools to form fine concavities and convexities. Since die accuracy directly affects product quality, high attention to detail and technical skills are required. In recent years, integration with CNC programming and 3D modeling technologies has advanced, making it a field where digital technology and craftsmanship fuse.
Future Outlook
While automation and CNC-ization of die processing are progressing, demand for highly skilled engravers continues for complex shapes and fine machining. Integration with digital technology and skill succession are challenges.
