ことにある。However, in the above conventional mold manufacturing method, a sand mold containing silica sand or carbon as a main component is used for casting the mold. The strength of the sand mold is generally low, and it is difficult to cast a desired detailed shape of the mold. Therefore, in order to manufacture the sand mold, a casting model designed and manufactured to have a rough shape with respect to the product shape is required, and since the casting by the casting model also has a rough shape, machining and electric discharge machining after casting are required. There are many parts and processing costs. Therefore, in order to obtain the processing accuracy of the mold,
It is necessary to carry out multi-step machining, or to manufacture a plurality of electrodes for electric discharge machining and perform electric discharge machining. There was a problem. The present invention has been made to address the above problems, and its object is to reduce the mold by casting and processing the mold with high accuracy using the mold for the electric discharge machining electrode. It is to provide a manufacturing method that can improve cost, short delivery time, and high accuracy.

答えることができる。In the present invention constructed as described above,
As shown in the schematic process diagram of FIG. 1, an electric discharge machining electrode 23 is manufactured according to a mold design 22 from the product design drawing 21. Since the metal mold is cast 24 using the electric discharge machining electrode 23 as a mold, a sand mold according to a conventional casting model is not required, and at the same time, a highly accurate casting can be manufactured by the mold. Further, the sand mold according to the conventional technique is partially stressed by the cooling after the molten metal is cast, and cracks occur. In the present invention, since the mold is released from the mold 25 in the process of cooling and shrinking the casting, cracks generated in the mold can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to manufacture a cast product with a small machining allowance for the product shape, and it is possible to easily perform machining 26 and electric discharge machining 27 after casting, and it is possible to meet the demands for high accuracy, short delivery time, and low cost.
