The design and making of the molds normally take the longest.

First is the design and drawling, using solid works or another type of program.

Then you upload it to Surf cam and make all the changes to perfect the mold lines and size.

You will then run your computer generated tool path 10-15 times to be sure your tools don’t crash anywhere with the mold.

Upload your program to your HASS Mold maker (CNC) secure your aluminum block into place then indicate the height and corners of your aluminum block, select your tools/cutter and push the go button. (Getting to this point can take 4-5 months of R&D) Speaking from experience.

After the mold is finished you install the hardware to bolt it together. Then comes the conditioning of the mold using mold release or Frecoat mold agent. Then heat the mold up to 250-300 Deg. For about 15 min. After it cools you design the composite lay-up and make your parts.

Once you have the process down and you’re getting good quality parts, you will then trim sand and bond you parts together using a jig or other equipment. It will take about 5-6 days to make a 1 quality kit. (Getting to this point can take up to 1-2 Months) Speaking from experience.

Are you ready for one Andy?
