In the means of production, business equipment CNC die rate has been greatly improved, the application of CAD/CAE/CAM technology has been greatly expanded, high-speed processing and advanced technologies such as RP/RT has been more and more, using coverage and die commercialization rate is greatly improved hot runner mold mold standard parts, also have a larger ratio to improve. In addition, the vigorous development of foreign-funded enterprises to further promote the design and manufacture of plastic mold and improve the level of enterprise management, some enterprises have achieved information management and full digital, non graphic manufacturing.
After recent years of development, plastic mold development, innovation and enterprise management has shown some new trends:
(1) in the quality of the mold, delivery cycle, price, service four factors, more and more users will be the delivery cycle in the first place. Request mold company as soon as possible delivery, this has become a trend. Enterprises try their best to improve their adaptability, improve their technical level, raise their equipment level, raise their management level and improve their efficiency, which are effective measures to shorten the production cycle of moulds.
(2) vigorously improve the development capabilities, the development work as far as possible push forward, until the intervention into the mold user's product development, and even before the user has not yet explicitly targeted development, change passive to active. At present, the TV and monitor shell, air conditioner shell, motorcycle plastic parts have been adopted this method, and the development of mobile phone and telephone mold has also begun to try. This approach has broken for a long time, mold factory can only wait for the contract, in accordance with user requirements for the passive design of mold.
(3) with the improvement of the design and processing level of the mold enterprises, the manufacture of the mould is changing from the skill of the fitter mainly to the technology mainly in the past. This is not only a change in the means of production, but also a change in the mode of production and an increase in ideas. This trend makes the standardization of mold constantly improve, mold accuracy is higher and higher, the production cycle is becoming shorter and shorter, fitter ratio is lower and lower, and ultimately promote the overall level of the mold industry continues to improve. China mold industry has more than 10 state-level high-tech enterprises, about 200 provincial and municipal high-tech enterprises. With this trend, the main backbone of the production of mold from skilled personnel gradually into technical personnel is an inevitable requirement. Of course, at present and a considerable period of time, skilled personnel is still very important, because the mold after all difficult to completely shake off the art of relying on.
(4) mould enterprises and their mould production are developing rapidly to information technology. In the information society, as a modern mold enterprise with high level, the application of CAD/CAM is far from enough. At present, many enterprises have adopted CAE, CAT, PDM, CAPP, KBE, KBS, RE, CIMS, ERP and other advanced manufacturing technology and virtual network technology, these are the performance of information technology. To the direction of information technology, this trend has become the consensus of the industry.
(5) with the continuous progress of human society, the mold will inevitably develop to a wider field and a higher level. Now, to seize the opportunity and explore the market, and constantly find new growth point of mold enterprises and can produce high technology content mold enterprise business is prosperous, and the level of profits and staff income is very good. Therefore, mold enterprises should grasp this trend, and constantly improve the overall quality and international competitiveness.
(6) the moulds of developed industrial countries are transferring to China, the first is to move factories, two is investment, and the other is three. China's mold enterprises should seize the opportunity to borrow and learn advanced foreign technology to speed up their own pace of development.
