Mold and die work demands fine finishes, tight tolerances and hard materials, so it pulls in high-speed machining centers (often 5-axis), sinker and wire EDM for sharp internal detail, and precision grinding. Thermal stability, look-ahead control and small, precise tooling define the result.
It's a multi-machine discipline — a high-speed mill plus EDM covers most work. See the mold-and-die industry page and value candidates at The Machine Blue Book.
