Mold&Die - DOHRE

Mold & Die

The mold and die industry requires exceptional precision, high surface quality, and outstanding tool durability to meet the demands of high-volume manufacturing. Whether for plastic injection molds, die casting, or stamping dies, every surface and contour must meet exact tolerances to ensure the quality and consistency of the final product.

Dohre offers advanced carbide milling tools specifically engineered for machining hardened steels, stainless steels, and high-performance alloys used in mold and die making. Our solutions enable manufacturers to reduce polishing time, extend tool life, and achieve mirror-like finishes even in the most complex cavity shapes.

With extensive OEM customization capabilities, Dohre delivers tools designed for the exact geometries, materials, and machining conditions of mold and die applications worldwide.
