Analysis on the development prospects of the mold industry:

1. China’s mold market prospects

The application of molds continues to expand, and the field has been applied to the larger and higher requirements of the development of the mold industry to shape the development speed faster than other manufacturing industries. It has become a universal law to shape the needs of the world market. In recent years, the total market has been 600~6.5 billion US dollars, while China’s exports have no mold to 8%, "in" can expand this proportion, and with the development trend of economic globalization more and more obvious, the mold manufacturing industry gradually China and multinational companies transfer mold China It has become more obvious for foreign and private capital purchases, continue to support China’s mold industry, China’s mold industry is more challenging opportunities, the future market prospects of international molds, China molds still have a lot of room for development.

2. Mold product market, improve competitiveness

At present, China is facing the dual pressure of technological advantages of developed countries and developing countries and price advantages. Industrial countries are dying, their technological and business advantages, competitive advantages in high-end molds, as they are gradually entering the country, the Chinese mold industry has become a huge challenge in India, Thailand and Eastern European countries in recent years, industrial mold development Very fast, the price of its mold also has a strong competitive advantage, China’s mold industry, cost and price advantages will gradually weaken and eventually disappear. Luo Bai Hui Liangyu said that China must die the technology, management and personnel training of enterprises, and actively introduce foreign advanced mold manufacturing technology to improve the mold development capability of high-end products, adjust product structure, molds, mold products, and continuously improve China. International competitiveness.

3. Growth rate of the mold industry

During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, China’s national economy will continue to maintain a relatively fast growth rate, to the mold industry, a reliable macro support. Automotive, IT, electronic information, household appliances, OA office equipment, machinery and building materials industry, aerospace, molds require a large number of power tools, household appliances and electronic information industry only one refrigerator Xu Yong about 150 pieces of mold, for example, request total 350 sets of molds; more than 150 sets of molds for fully automatic washing machines; one air conditioner, only 20 sets of plastic molds, each model requires more than 30 computers, and the printer and its supporting equipment need to die more than 20 single pairs; Computers, the network will have tens of millions of units in the set-top box market. As long as it is developed abroad, the current model has a larger import of molds, because China’s ability to develop its own in this area will greatly increase the demand for molds. China’s mold industry is expected to develop in a good macro environment.

4. Opportunities and challenges in the mold industry

Regarding the mold industry, the domestic and international situation provides an unprecedented development space for development, while other molds will face more intense competition challenges. In addition to international competition, Xiaoshan, Shanghai, Shenzhen, we will develop into a mold company. The annual sales revenue of the mold industry, such as Xiaoshan you, reached 2 billion US dollars, as a major professional auto company owned by Japanese professional mold factory technicians, friends and home appliance mold production, is currently planning to support Xiaoshan Hong Kong’s GEM, The management, equipment and technology of Huangyan Mould Industry have always been in the forefront of the province; Wenzhou Mould has more than 30 million molds, annual output value, and the mold industry is being prepared. Five further development leading enterprises have jointly established mold constant field mold company investment of 200 million yuan. Yuan Xingjian’s mold technology center is the focus of government support. Once the country is the leader in the Shanghai mold industry, it is necessary to revitalize the Economic Committee, the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the original glory, the main control center has been fully launched to build a mold 1500 acres, modern The industrial park area will soon die in front of people Suzhou High-tech Zone proposed to establish a high-level area of 2,000 acres with the idea of a modern industrial base to shape international standards. South China University and Guangdong Fangda Group signed an agreement to prepare to die in Chang’an Town, Dongguan City, the city played the south The important reason for China’s mold research and development base, and the adjustment of industrial structure in Shenzhen, clearly made death as the head of advanced manufacturing, about 6 billion yuan investment in industrial park construction mold; investment in Chongqing to build China’s largest and highest automotive standards, Motorcycle Mould Industrial Park is 5 billion yuan. In 2035, the annual output value is 300 million yuan. The total number of plastic machinery molds in Shantou City exceeds 1 billion yuan. At present, the value of the output value of plastics, machinery and related tools is about 3,000. Most companies have completed the introduction of new CNC tooling equipment for the region in Germany, France, Italy and Taiwan, greatly improving product performance and quality levels. There are many other provinces and cities in China (Nanchang, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Xi’an, Dalian, Yantai, Shandong, Botou City, Hebei) to seize the opportunity to become a "world factory" in China, and create a further development of the mold garden brewing industry. Upgraded molds.

Second, the development trend of the mold industry

1. The globalization of the mold market further reduces the mold production cycle

The globalization of the mold market is the most important feature of today’s mold industry. It is one of the mold buyers and one of the manufacturers around the world. The globalization of the development of the mold industry is simple, low precision, and the technology of the mold processing enterprise. The productivity ratio of low relative backward immigrant countries, in the mold manufacturing enterprises in developed countries at a high level of mold production, located in mold manufacturing enterprises must face global competition, manufacturers must die, and do everything possible to speed up production progress, and strive to simplify and cancel The necessary production process, the mold production cycle will be further shortened.

2. Integration of mold CAD / CAM technology, intelligent and networked development

More complete software modules, while functional modules use the same data model for integrated management and information sharing, supporting the entire process management of mold design, manufacturing, assembly, inspection, testing and production. Some series of software include surface/solid geometry, geometrically complex engineering drawings, advanced rendering industrial design, mold design expert systems, CAM’s complex physics, art design and sculpture automation programming systems, reverse engineering systems and complex physics Online measurement system; mold design, analysis, manufacturing 3D technology, paperless software, new generation 3D mold, intuitive design to design mold, 3D digital model can be easily applied in product structure CAE analysis, mold can be produced Evaluation and CNC machining, forming process simulation and information management and sharing; for competition, cooperation, production internationalization and globalization and management, computer hardware and software technology, network real-deal mold industry virtual design, agile rapid development of manufacturing technology Necessary and possible.

3. Mold technology, high speed machining, hard machining and composite machining direction

With the development of precision molds and large, ultra-precision machining and more than 1μm collectors, chemistry, ultrasonic, laser processing technology, the future of composite mold integration technology will have broad prospects. The high-speed machining of the workpiece surface is smooth, saving processing time, usually only one step away from 0.0254 mm, Sharp only has a high point of 0.001 mm, the majority of the workpiece surface is processed at high speed, it is very smooth, no further processing by the fitter. At present, machine tool manufacturers are keen on the production process and specially designed high-speed machining centers, high-speed machining technology in the United States, to reduce or eliminate the process is a considerable fitter to improve efficiency, which is popular in Europe and Japan. In addition, another important trend in the processing of materials and the overall hardening of the mold cavity mold processing industry. The high speed and small cutter P have a slight torque to form a sufficient torque to handle the hardness of metal materials up to 64HRC, because there is no heat treatment, conventional heat treatment, after tempering must be ground by the offset heat treatment There is no need for geometric distortion, but in Japan, it is widely acclaimed, and now the technology in the United States has also been widely concerned and actively spread in Europe.

With the rapid development of new technologies, there has been a reasonable combination of multiple machines in the mold automatic processing system, with the accompanying positioning fixture or positioning plate, a complete equipment, tools and CNC numerical control database real-time synchronization system flexible quality monitoring and control system .

4. The mold will be very large, accurate, standardized direction

On the one hand, a larger part of the molding, improving the production of "multi-cavity mold efficiency," making more and more miniaturization and mold precision, tolerance, and other electronic information industry, medicine, rapid development Brought some precision molds that need to be below 1 micron. Another multi-functional composite mold will be further developed. In addition to the new multi-functional composite mold stamping parts, it is also responsible for layers, tapping, riveting and locking to further improve production efficiency.

Mold standard parts are commonly used in developed countries to cover about 80%, while China’s mold industry, molds will strengthen standardization, standardization will be further strengthened mold, mold applications and in the "Eleventh Five-Year" will have a greater production process Standard parts development.

5. Hot runner mold species, mold and adaptive high pressure gas assisted injection molding direction

Hot runner technology molds can increase productivity and workpiece quality, and can produce significant savings in raw materials. Many foreign plastic mold factories produce more than 50% of plastic mold hot runner technology, and some have more than 80% effective effects; gas assisted The injection molding has low injection pressure, small deformation, good surface quality and easy wall formation. For example, under the premise of ensuring product quality, the product with large cost is greatly reduced; the high-pressure injection resin molding shrinkage rate can be forced to increase the plastic parts. Dimensional stability, combined with injection compression molding technology, allows the local formation of an internal strain small piece thickness to reduce molding shrinkage, while parts for plastic parts can also be reduced to inject resin, with a small power to obtain a good injection product These technologies are gradually being promoted.

6. The prospect of a fast economic mold is very broad

In the era of small batch production, many varieties, people demand the shortest mold production cycle, so that the rapid economic development of the mold will have broad prospects. It is expected that in the 21st century, various superplastic materials will be produced in proportion to the total industrial production of epoxy, polyester or reinforced and simple-made molds and other production materials in which metal molds and glass are filled. Including economical rapid mold rapid prototyping, surface forming molds, die casting molds, extrusion mold technology and overmolding shapes, multi-point forming technology, blanking die steel KEVRON, rapid mold manufacturing technology blank.

7. High quality mold materials and advanced surface treatment technology attention

Due to improper selection and use of materials, the failure of premature death, which accounted for more than 45% of failed deaths, so the selection of high-quality steel and surface treatment technology for rational application, it is very important to improve the life of the mold. Improved steel, isotropic, purity of density and uniformity, higher performance or performance development of special tool steels, development of die steel specifications, expansion of other high quality mold materials such as carbides, ceramic materials, composites The focus of such a major research application; the use of aluminum alloy mold materials, shortening the molding cycle, reducing the cost of die, will be faster in the economy to develop faster molds.

The main trends of the mold surface are: a single element to multi-element permeation, complex percolation reservoir development from general diffusion, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, plasma chemical vapor deposition, ion permeation, ion implantation direction, etc. Can be used in coatings: titanium carbide, titanium nitride, titanium oxynitride, TiAlN coating, chromium nitride, Cr7C3, W2C, etc., while heat refers to the development of vacuum heat treatment from the heat of the atmosphere. At present, laser strengthening, glow ion nitriding, and electroplating (plating) enhanced anti-corrosion technology are also receiving more and more attention.

8. Automotive, the impact of information technology development, market sentiment death in the electronics industry

China’s mold imports showed negative growth for the first time, and the mold industry’s “one big and one small” pull was really good for nearly two years of development. “Ada” refers to the automobile industry. The automobile industry refers not only to cars, but also to auto parts, such as the United States. It is the second largest exporter of auto parts in China, which means that China’s auto mold market has not played well. The role of substitution. Its rapid development of molds is driving an important role, and “one small” refers to the information electronics industry. The total import value of US$2.047 billion, US$2,080,000 was reduced to US$2.1 billion, the first negative growth in 2006, and the growth of import growth stopped year by year, with a total export value of US$1,041 million. The US dollar, which is more than 10 billion US dollars more than the 41.06 in 2005, is the first time that imports have fallen and the deficit has been reduced. It is very gratifying.

9. The mold needs to further adjust the industrial structure

Although the mold industry and the previous years have made significant progress, there are still many problems. For example, the irrational industrial structure still exists. Structures, including product structure, technical structure, and structure of imports and exports, also have varying degrees of problems. For example, in the import and export structure, due to the mold design and manufacturing level and ability can not meet the market demand, it is dying every year from a large number of imports, especially high-end products. In 2006, the import and export of stamping dies, if by weight, the price of 144,913 US dollars / ton, and 5,869 US dollars / ton, exports are higher than imports, while plastic rubber molds, imports and exports in 2006 It is 413,715 units and 1,127,772 units, the export is far greater than the import, and the unit is very poorly different: the import price of 2,523 dollars / set, the export price of 602 US dollars / set, 4 times the difference, although the export volume is near 3 times, the amount of imports, but still below the total amount of imports. We still import a large number of high-quality molds, and exports dominate the middle and low. Therefore, in the long run, the rationalization of import and export trends should expand exports, reduce imports, and make exports exceed imports. Obviously, this also needs to be a period of time.

10. Management company limits mold development

Different mold manufacturing process management product management is the unit that faces the mold industry’s production, and how to digitally manage information is very well understood. If the mold is not a scientific management, dynamic management method, we can not guarantee the orderly mold manufacturing, rapid prototyping mold supplier Shenzhen time. At the same time, each company’s mold products are different, so they need to be managed separately. Those who die and do business well, they have a unique set for their own management, but there are very few companies. Luo Baihui pointed out that the mold business, if I
