Die & Mold Industry since 2000 at an annual rate of 20% is growing, "Eleventh Five-Year" period, sell very well, yield, quality and level to further improve, particularly in the automotive manufacturing industry and IT manufacturing industry, boosting the die-end increase, sophisticated mold manufacturing equipment for mold technology level has provided a guarantee. China Die & Mold Industry Association executive vice president and secretary general, said Cao Yanan, China's mold industry is experiencing the "golden stage of development," the period ahead will continue to maintain sustained and rapid growth.
    In recent years, mold the industry to speed up product structure adjustment, to large, sophisticated, complex, long-life die as represented by high-tech mold growth rate higher than the overall industry growth rate, accounting for about 35% of the total die. Mold growth rate of exports in 2007 reached 35.73%, a further decline in trade deficit, import and export mold structure more reasonable, domestic alternative to imported mold mold has become a climate.
    Experts analyzed the situation when in an interview that China's mold industry will be large, sophisticated, complex, high efficiency, long life and multi-direction. At present, electronics, automobile, electrical machinery, electrical appliances, instruments, meters, home appliances, communications and military products, 60% -80% of the parts depend on the mold shape.
    Molding of the workpiece with demonstrated high accuracy, high complexity, high consistency, high productivity and low consumption, other manufacturing methods can not match. Mold to a large extent determines the product quality, efficiency, and development capabilities.
    Experts believe that China's mold industry will become increasingly large, and the accuracy will be getting higher and higher. 10 years ago, the accuracy of precision molds generally 5μm, now stands at 2-3μm. Soon, 1μm precision molds will be available. With the miniaturization of components and precision requirements increase, and some mold machining precision tolerance requires the following in the 1μm, which requires the development of super-finishing. Experts believe that China's mold industry to further develop multi-functional composite die, a set of multi-die press forming parts in addition, also responsible for layers, tapping, riveting, and assembly tasks such as locking. Through this multi-functional out of the mold is no longer produced bulk parts, but the bulk of the components, such as contact with the bearing components, a variety of small motors, electrical and instrumentation of the core components. Multi-color and multi-material plastic molding mold will also have rapid development. This reduces the production mold cycle, the future will be developed in different areas and applications.
    China Plastic Mold with hot runner technology, the growing network to promote the application of hot runner molds in theplastic mold will gradually increase the proportion. Use of hot runner technology, the mold can improve productivity and quality of workpiece, and can greatly save workpieces of raw materials, the application of this technology has developed very rapidly in foreign countries has been very common. Domestic hot runner mold has also been produced, some enterprises has reached about 30%, but, in general, the ratio is too low, yet to be developed. With the plastic molding process of continuous improvement and development of mold and adapt to the high-pressure gas-assisted injection molding process will follow the development of mold. Relevant experts believe that mold standard parts of the applications will be increasingly wide range of standard die and mold standard parts of the applications can greatly affect the mold manufacturing cycle. The use of mold standard parts can not only shorten the mold manufacturing cycle, but also to improve quality and reduce mold mold manufacturing costs. At the same time, rapid economic mold enjoy broad prospects.
