Abstract
Currently, the mint industry is using some of the conventional manufacturing processes that usually require specialized skills like engraving. This kind of skill is beginning to lose its attractiveness to the younger generations as it takes many years to be trained as an apprentice before one can be a qualified craftsman. This article highlights how CADCAM and CNC technologies can be used effectively to computerize some of the conventional medallion design and production processes. Some industrial case studies are described and an evaluation performed. A comparison based on the time required by the current practice and the proposed method is presented in one of the case studies. It is found that the proposed method is able to cut down the time for manufacturing the working and master dies by more than 50%.
