New solid carbide milling cutters for tool and mould making
Under the product name OptiMill-3D, MAPAL is announcing a new high-performance programme of solid carbide milling cutters specially developed for tool and mould making. Along with extremely heat-resistant coatings and special carbide substrates, these tools are characterised in particular by the dimensions and geometries specifically adapted to mould making.
High-feed machining with high material removal rate
Suitable for milling hardened parts with a hardness of 45-66 HRC, with the OptiMill-3D-HF-Hardened with four or six cutting edges MAPAL is announcing two new high-feed milling cutters for hard machining. So that the tools also work reliably even in difficult application conditions such as an interrupted cut, MAPAL has developed a special face geometry.
The milling cutter with four cutting edges is used above all for roughing as well as for pre-finishing. Due to the fewer number of cutting edges and the related more generous dimensioning of the chip flutes, reliable removal of the chips is ensured. This milling cutter is also the tool of choice for machining with long projection lengths and in deep cavities.
The milling cutter with six cutting edges can be used optimally for roughing and pre-finishing, as well as for finishing flat surfaces with a high feed rate. It produces the best surface finishes and flatness. The equivalent, the OptiMill-3D-HF, with three and four cutting edges is available for soft machining. The dimensions here are matched to the OptiMill-3D-HF-Hardened.

Highly accurate corner radii for maximum precision
3D-Formen mit einer Härte von bis zu 66 HRC schlichtet der Eckradiusfräser OptiMill-3D-CR-Hardened mit hervorragenden Ergebnissen: Bei maximaler Vorschubgeschwindigkeit erzeugt das neue Werkzeug von MAPAL sehr gute, glatte und hochglänzende Oberflächen. Ausschlaggebend dafür sind die hochgenau gefertigten Eckradien. Der OptiMill-3D-CR-Hardened steht im Durchmesserbereich 4-12 mm und in mehreren Längen und Eckradien zur Verfügung.
Effizienz auf 5-Achs-Maschinen
Um tiefe Kavitäten, komplexe Freiformflächen oder Turbinenschaufeln und Impeller zu fertigen, kommen die neuen Kreisradiusfräser OptiMill-3D-CS zum Einsatz. Sie sind eine optimale geometrische Kombination aus Radius- und Formfräsern und machen einen höheren Bahnabstand bei der Vorschlicht- und Schlichtbearbeitung möglich. Das Ergebnis: Deutlich reduzierte Bearbeitungszeiten und erheblich bessere Oberflächenqualitäten. Tiefe, schlecht zugängliche Kavitäten bearbeitet der OptiMill-3D-CS in Tropfenform optimal. Der Fräser in Kegelform steht für die hocheffiziente Bearbeitung großer Flächen und Flächen mit Störkontur.
