5-Axis Machining Center Now in Operation: Enhanced Precision for Daily-Use Molds
At NEW STAR MOULD, we never stop investing in better equipment to serve our global customers in the daily-use mold manufacturing field.
We are pleased to announce that our new 5-axis machining center has officially been put into operation at our factory. This significant upgrade allows us to machine complex mold components in a single setup—drastically improving both accuracy and lead time for houseware molds, kitchenware molds, and thin-wall container molds.
What a 5-Axis Machining Center Means for Your Molds
Traditional 3-axis machining often requires multiple clamping operations, which can lead to cumulative positioning errors and visible witness lines on the cavity surface. With our new 5-axis system:
Tighter Tolerances: Achieve ±0.005mm precision on complex contours and deep ribs.
Faster Delivery: Reduce machining time by up to 30% through simultaneous multi-surface cutting.
Better Surface Finish: Minimize manual polishing, especially for high-gloss and transparent products (e.g., salad bowls, storage boxes, clear lids).
Ideal for High-Cavity & Complex Daily-Use Molds
This new capability is especially valuable for:
Multi-cavity stack molds for disposable cups and lids.
Thin-wall molds requiring uniform filling and rapid cooling.
Household product molds with undercuts, sliders, or unscrewing mechanisms.
Our Commitment to You
At NEW STAR MOULD, every investment we make—from mold flow analysis to CMM inspection and now 5-axis machining—is aimed at one goal: delivering injection molds that run reliably at high output, with shorter cycle times and longer lifetimes.
We invite you to send your CAD file or part drawing for a free manufacturability review. Let us show you how precision tooling reduces your per-part cost.
