In this paper, point cloud data of micro-mould was acquired by CMM. Commercially available reverse engineering software was used for the data processing of point cloud, surface reconstruction and error analysis. Mould model with high surface precision was achieved. Using the UG machining module, NC milling simulation of the micro-mould has been conducted and the reasonable cutting parameters, as well as NC programs were determined. Machining experiments were carried out on the 3-axis NC micro milling machine and micro milling cutter was adopted. Finally, complex surface micro-mould with feature size in micron meter and high quality was achieved in the milling experiments.
