Abstract:
1. A multi-component powder compaction mold for the production of cutting inserts comprising: a single piece orthogonal top section comprising an orthogonal cavity wall forming a top cavity in and extending entirely through the orthogonal top section; at least one angled middle section comprising an angled cavity wall forming at least one middle cavity in and extending entirely through the angled middle section, wherein each middle section is a single piece; and a single piece orthogonal bottom section comprising an orthogonal cavity wall forming a bottom cavity in and extending through the orthogonal bottom section; wherein the orthogonal top section, the at least one angled middle section, and the orthogonal bottom section are stacked against one another, rigidly secured to one another and aligned so that the top cavity, the at least one middle cavity, and the bottom cavity collectively form a mold cavity comprising an orthogonal top cavity wall, at least one angled middle cavity wall, and an orthogonal bottom cavity wall, the intersecting cavity walls forming horizontal corner intersections in the mold cavity.
