[QUOTE="Bugpac, post: 349310, member: 1862"] Well Jim, I can. First you got to have an Idea. Then it needs to be drawn in Cad, And the mold laid out in cad. Then from cad it goes into a CAM program that lays out all the tool pathing for cutting. You upload all the code to your cnc machine. Add a workpiece. And start cutting. All sounds relativly easy anyways.. We just recently purchased a cnc mill for our own shop. Havent moved it in yet, but on top of the mill purchase alone, the software alone costs about 5000.00 bucks. Eventually we will purchase that as well. So end user cost to create a single custom mold. about 700.00.. [/QUOTE]
