The Convergence of the Two Industries Promotes the Development of the Mould Industry

Mold is an important process equipment for the forming process of parts. It is an important basic equipment for manufacturing industries such as automobiles, motorcycles, electrical appliances, IT electronics, OA office equipment, transportation facilities, building materials, sanitary ware and medical equipment. Due to the high precision, consistency, and aesthetic appearance of products molded with molds, they are increasingly used in the manufacture of structures and interior parts for aircraft, ships, and high-speed trains. In addition, the production process can realize high-efficiency, high-volume production, material saving, and energy saving. Therefore, molds are often hailed as the mother of modern industrial production. Luo Baihui, Deputy CEO of Die & Mould Network Technology Co., Ltd., said that due to the important role of molds in the manufacturing industry, the design and manufacture of molds has become an important area of ​​the manufacturing industry. The mold manufacturing industry has therefore been subjected to various industrial developments in the world. National attention and attention. Due to the characteristics of the mold itself, most of the modern mold companies are characterized by technology-intensive, capital-intensive and high-quality labor-intensive and high social benefits. The mold manufacturing industry has become a part of the high-tech manufacturing industry. Therefore, the level of mold technology has become an important indicator of a country's manufacturing level, and it is also the core competitiveness of maintaining the advantages of these countries' products in the international market.

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of the mold industry and mold technology, especially since the reform and opening up, fully affirmed the importance of the mold industry and technology in manufacturing and the national economy. Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese government has given preferential support to the development of the mold industry, which has prompted a fundamental change in China's mold industry.

1. China's mold and die industry is basically a tool-intensive and technology-intensive equipment with a high-tech industry characteristics and is characterized by high-tech industry characteristics. Manufacturing industry.

2. The production of moulds has come from the art-based manual production mode, which is mainly led by the traditional, fitter-master, and has entered the era of modern industrial production that generally adopts digital and informationized design and production technologies.

3, China's mold industry has evolved from a single public-owned enterprise form to a new pattern in which private enterprises are the main form and multiple ownership enterprises form coexistence.

4. The development of the manufacturing industry has driven the development of the mold industry. The development of the mold industry has given strong support to the manufacturing industry.

Nowadays, China has become a big manufacturing country, and is also a big producer of molds. The nation's mold manufacturing companies and factories have reached 30,000, and the number of employees is close to 1 million. In 2009, the sales volume was close to 100 billion yuan, and the import of molds was nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars. It still maintained the import level of 2 billion U.S. dollars for four consecutive years; the export of molds was close to 1.9 billion U.S. dollars, which was basically the same as in 2008.

5, mold product structure is more reasonable. The method of forming differs depending on the material of the product. Die is divided into 10 categories, the main stamping die, injection molding, casting die, die casting die, forging die, rubber tire die, glass die, and so on. The current structural ratio of China's molds: stamping molds account for about 37%, plastic molds about 43%, casting molds (including pressure casting molds) about 10%, forging molds, tire molds, glass molds, and other molds account for 10 %. It is consistent with the proportion of mold categories in industrial developed countries.

6. The key backbone mold enterprise team has formed. A number of enterprises have significantly improved their production capacity and technological level. Leading companies in the mold industry emerged in the development (such as automotive parts mold - four people, large plastic mold - Haier, Warwick, Qunda line, precision stamping die - Guosheng, Wah Fu, automotive tire mold - wheel , Haomai, casting mold - FAW foundry, Ningbo Heli, Guangzhou cavity, Beilun Huiwang, precision plastic mold - CD (Xiamen), Ningbo Yokogawa, etc.) played a leading role in the progress of the industry. 95 mold companies in the mold industry have been awarded the title of “China's key backbone mold enterprises”. In May 2010, we also gave the fourth batch of more than 10 companies during the Shanghai International Model Exhibition. “China's key backbone mold companies "It will be around 110 homes.

7. The company's R&D and innovation capabilities have been improved, and new technologies have been promoted and applied. The general level of enterprise equipment has been improved, CNC machine tools such as machining centers and CAD/CAM technologies have been widely adopted, and CAE technology has gradually been adopted. Such as the development and application of 3D design technology, R&D and application of information management technology, R&D and application of dual-material (color) injection molding technology, R&D and application of high-gloss seamless injection molding technology, development and application of molding technology for plastic-replaced steel products , High-strength plate, unequal thickness welding plate stamping technology, high-strength plate hot press forming technology, nitrogen gas spring research and development applications, and so on.

8, a substantial increase in mold level. The proportion of high-level molds represented by large-scale, sophisticated, complex, and long-life molds has reached more than 35%. For example, car cover molds have been able to produce B-type vehicle molds; the accuracy of precision molds has reached 0.5 micron; The precision progressive die can be used on high-speed punches of 2000-2500 times per minute; the accuracy of plastic molds reaches the micron level and adapts to the needs of IT industry development; the single set of tire active tools with weight of 120T and diameter of 4 meters becomes The largest mold and so on.

9. The system for mold manufacturing and supporting services is gradually perfecting. China's mold industry system is basically complete, and the mold industry layout has improved. From the more developed Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta region to the interior and north, there have been some new areas where the production of molds has been concentrated. There are Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Long (Spring) Dalian (lian), Chengdu-Chengdu (Southwest), and Wuhan ( Central China) and Yuzhong District. However, the development is still uneven and regional differences are large. The development of mold collection has become a new feature, and the mold park (city, gathering place, etc.) has continued to emerge. There are about 15 mold parks that have been built and have begun to take shape across the country. There are some places that are planning to build a mold park.

The importance of mold manufacturing in manufacturing has been gradually recognized by people, and it has also attracted the attention of leaders at all levels of government. The state has adopted a support policy. Some local governments also vigorously support them from all aspects.
