Overview
Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the national economy, the market's demand for molds has been increasing. In recent years, the mold industry has been developing rapidly at a growth rate of about 15%. All the production points of mold industry enterprises have also undergone tremendous changes. In addition to state-owned professional mold factories, collective, joint venture, sole proprietorship and private sector have also developed rapidly.
"Mold Township" in Ningbo and Huangyan, Zhejiang; some large group companies in Guangdong and rapidly rising township enterprises, Kelong, Midea, Konka and other groups have established their own mold manufacturing centers; Chinese and foreign joint ventures and wholly foreign-owned mold enterprises are now There are already thousands.
With the accelerating pace of integration with the international market and increasing market competition, people have increasingly recognized the importance of product quality, cost and product development capabilities. Mold manufacturing is one of the most basic elements in the entire chain. Mold manufacturing technology has now become an important indicator of the level of a country's manufacturing industry, and to a large extent determines the survival space of enterprises.
In recent years, many mold companies have increased their investment in technological progress, and regard technological progress as an important driving force for enterprise development. Some domestic mold companies have popularized 2D CAD, and have begun to use UG, Pro/E, I-DEAS, Euclid-IS and other international common software. Some manufacturers have also introduced Moldflow, DYNAFORM, Optris and MAGMASOFT and other CAE software, and Successfully used in the design of stamping dies.
The manufacturing technology of large stamping dies represented by automobile cover molds has made great progress. Mould manufacturers such as Dongfeng Motor Company's mold factory and FAW mold center have been able to produce some car cover molds.
In addition, many research institutions and colleges and universities carry out research and development of mold technology. After years of hard work, significant progress has been made in mold CAD/CAE/CAM technology, and contributions have been made in improving mold quality and shortening mold design and manufacturing cycles.
