Mold is crucial in the automobile manufacturing industry, we need to rely on more than 90% of car parts die forming.Make a normal car about 1500 sets of mold.The development of car manufacturing is officially the lifeblood of the related mold industry development.The following, we analyzed some trend of the development of mould industry.

-, stamping forming process simulation (CAE) is more prominent

In recent years, with the rapid development of computer software and hardware, stamping forming process simulation technology (CAE) plays a more and more important role.In the United States, Japan, Germany and other developed countries, CAE technology have become a necessary part of mold design and manufacturing process, is widely used to predict the forming defects, and optimization of stamping process and die structure, improve the reliability of the mold design, to reduce the test time.
Many auto mould domestic enterprises in the application of CAE have also made significant progress, obtained the good effect.The application of CAE technology can greatly save the cost of test, shorten the development cycle of stamping die and has become an important means to ensure the quality of the mould.CAE technology is gradually make mold design by the experience design into a scientific design.

Two, mould 3 d design position remains secure

The mould 3 d design is an important content of digital mold technology, is integrates mould design, manufacture and inspection of the foundation.In addition, there is an advantage is easy movement and interference check interference analysis, solve a difficult problem in the 2 d design.

Three, digital mould technology into the mainstream

In recent years, the rapid development of mould digital technology to help solve a lot of questions of automobile die manufacturing industry.This technique mainly contains the following aspects:
- manufacturability design (DFM), that is, when the design consideration and analysis of manufacturability, guarantee the success of the process.
- mold profile design of assistive technology
- CAE analysis, forecast, and solve the problem of possible defects and forming.
- 3 d die structure design to replace the traditional two-dimensional design.
- mould manufacturing process using CAPP, CAM, and the CAT technology.
- under the technical instruction of digital processing to solve problems arising from the test during production.

Four, mould manufacturing automation has developed rapidly

Advanced processing technology and equipment is the basis of increase productivity and ensure the quality of products.Because of this, auto mould manufacturers are gradually increasing the financial input in technology, such as using double workbench of nc machine tools, automatic tool change device (ATC), automatic processing of photoelectric control system, workpiece online measuring system, and even a robot.

Five, die material and surface treatment technology will be reused

Mold material will directly affect the mold quality, life and cost.In recent years, many new steel was developed with high quality.These new steel strong workability, but surface quenching and lower cost.

Six, scientific management and the information is the development direction of mould manufacturing enterprise

Scientific management and information technology is an important part of automobile mould industry development.Help the scientific management of manufacturing enterprises to manufacture on time (Just - in - TimeManufacturing) and lean production (LeanProduction) in the direction of development, enterprise management more accurate, improve the production efficiency, ineffective institution, links and streamlined.
At the same time, along with the progress of modern management technology, many advanced information management tools, including enterprise resource management system (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM), project management (PM), etc., are widely used in the mold manufacturing enterprises.

Seven, mold quality improvement is necessary

For all industries, and constantly improve the product quality is the basic, mould industry is no exception.Mould manufacturing企业不仅要提升模具质量还需要提高生产率来缩短生产时间和成本。
