Die Mold Repairs

Laser cladding is a type of metalworking that uses a laser to cut metal sheets into precise shapes. This process is used to repair die moldings, which are parts of industrial machines that produce products such as plastics and metals.

Die molding is a manufacturing process that creates parts of products by pressing two or more sheets of metal together. The dies used in die molding are usually made of a hard plastic and are shaped like the part that the product is supposed to create.

When a die is damaged, the plastic inside can often become brittle. This makes it difficult for the die to hold its shape and create the part correctly. Laser cladding is a process that can be used to fix die molding and restore its original shape.

The first step in using laser cladding is to scan the die using a laser. This scan allows the technician to create a digital model of the die and its surrounding area. This model can then be used to create a template for the
