Method for producing casting die and die model

摘要

A method for producing a casting die by simple work without requiring any high work skill in which the working days required for producing the casting die can be shortened greatly. A die model suitably employed in this production method, an NC processing system and a processing robot are also provided. The method for producing the casting die comprises: (1) a die data making step for making die data through designing a requisite die in compliance with a configuration of an article to be produced; (2) an automatic processing preparation step for preparing processing data as to how processing is to be performed by an automatic processing machine on the basis of the die data; (3) a die model cutting step for producing a die model by cutting a die model material with the automatic processing machine; (4) a die mold making step for making a die mold by packing casting sand in a box whose upper side is open, with the die model produced in the die model cutting step being placed at a central part of the box, the casting sand being provided with a gate and solidified with bond to thereby obtain the die mold; (5) a die casting step for casting a die by pouring a molten die material into the die mold made in the die mold making step; and (6) a finishing and assembling step for finishing and assembling the die cast in the die casting step.
