Fast & dynamic <\/span>
\nThese are the advantages of trochoidal milling in mould making<\/span><\/h1>\n

Time is money. This applies to all industries, but in particular to the field of mould and die. Competitive pressure is high here, and in order to remain economical, manufacturing cycles need to keep getting shorter. One milling strategy has proven its worth here: \u201cG\u00fchring Trochoidal Cutting\u201d or, for short: GTC milling.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ module_class=”gue-page-header” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GUE_blog-gtc-fraesen-formenbau.jpg” alt=”Ein G\u00fchring VHM Fr\u00e4ser beim Trochoidalfr\u00e4sen” title_text=”Ein G\u00fchring VHM Fr\u00e4ser beim Trochoidalfr\u00e4sen” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]This dynamic milling strategy is a form of trochoidal milling and is being used more and more, especially in the machining of die and injection moulds, because \u2013 in addition to short machining times \u2013 the technology also impresses with the best possible part contours and high surface qualities. However, the machining of thin-walled components and the production of difficult 3D shapes or free-form cuts are typical examples for the use of GTC milling cutters. All this can be achieved in even the hardest and most difficult-to-machine materials or under adverse diameter-to-length ratios \u2013 usually without the need for rework.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

How does trochoidal milling work?<\/h2>\n

These milling strategies are among the most modern and effective cutting methods. The basic principle of trochoidal milling is based on maximum tool utilisation: The process uses a small cutting width (ae) and the maximum cutting depth (ap). By using the tool\u2019s entire cutting edge length, it is able to unleash its full power. This is particularly important in the area of mould and die, where enormous quantities of high-strength steel have to be machined. In trochoidal milling, the tool wrap is low, which improves the thermal effect on the tool cutting edge and ensures low mechanical stress. In addition, this procedure leads to longer tool lives as the wear is evenly distributed over the entire cutting edge.<\/p>\n

However, not every milling cutter is suitable for this style of dynamic milling. This calls for high-quality solid carbide tools that can withstand machining at extremely high cutting speeds and significantly accelerated feed rates. We present three such tools for different applications in mould and die.<\/p>\n
