Injection mould: the technic and the developing trend

Mold is the basic technological equipment in industrial production, and is also an indispensable tool for the development and realization of less and no cutting technology. In the electronics, automobile, motor, electrical appliance, instrument, home appliance and communication industries, 60% to 80% of the parts and components need mold processing, and more molds are used in the production of light industrial products, so the mold industry has the reputation of "the mother of all industries".

The level of mold technology and its scientific and technological content directly affect the development of industrial products. To a large extent, it determines the quality of products, the efficiency of enterprises, the development ability of new products, and the international competitiveness of a country's manufacturing industry. Therefore, the level of mold technology and its scientific and technological content has become an important indicator to measure a country's design level and product manufacturing level. With the wide use of mold CAD/CAE/CAM technology, the level and scientific content of mold technology will have a qualitative leap.

Today's market requires high-quality and low-cost products, and requires rapid response to various market demands. Plastic mold technology is bound to develop towards specialization, standardization, integration, intelligence, virtualization and networking.

Plastic molds have distinctive characteristics of the times, which can be summarized into four characteristics: "fast, precise, multiple and high". The so-called "fast" means that the market requires shorter and shorter product renewal cycle, and the corresponding requirements for shorter mold making cycle. Therefore, various rapid processing methods have been widely used and promoted. Due to the rapid development of the technological content of the products, the requirements for the accuracy of the mold are also higher and higher, that is, the mold is "refined". "Multiple" varieties and specifications and "high efficiency" are the basic pursuit of market economy. Many mold manufacturers attach great importance to the production efficiency of molds.
