This paper considers the manufacturing process of the Oloid by means of numerical control machining. Firstly, the requirements of the end part were studied, and it was decided to manufacture the Oloid via gravity die casting, and its necessary mold to be produced by CNC machining. In order to do so, the gating system and mold had to be designed and tested using sand casting methods. When the test results were optimal the die was machined and the part cast. During this process the CAD/CAM workflow was object of observation and study, which allowed for insight and conclusions on the design process.
