China's mold industry has entered a period of transformation and upgrading

Promoting the transformation and upgrading of the mold industry is an important task in China's "12th Five-Year Plan" period. The Chinese government has been strongly promoting the transformation and upgrading of the mold industry. This kind of promotion has mainly come from the introduction of various policies and the use of macro measures to help the development of China's mold industry in two aspects. With the joint efforts of the country, mold industry associations, and mold industry, China's mold industry has entered the critical point of transformation and upgrading ahead of schedule.

The mold industry association has done a lot of work in the mold production new technology, new technology and mold personnel training. As an important driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the Chinese mold industry, the China Mold Industry Association has contributed.

In addition, the mold industry has also done a lot of work in promoting its own transformation. The mold industry has continued to fight in the adjustment of the mold industry structure, product structure, new technology development, and environmental protection technology changes according to its own conditions.

With the development of information technology and computer network technology, the mold manufacturing industry has entered a new era of globalization, and competition has intensified. Market demands for product quality, production technology and time to market are also increasing. In this situation, cost control, production efficiency, and technical factors have become the key factors for mold manufacturing companies to create differentiated advantages.

According to Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Association for Modeling, the top three choices in the results of the competitiveness of mold enterprises are: optimizing and streamlining manufacturing processes and increasing production efficiency; accelerating innovation; moving from “mold manufacturing” to “mold-creation”; optimization Supply chain management, overall planning. For mold manufacturing companies, how to effectively reduce operating costs, increase mold engineering efficiency, introduce high-quality products in a timely manner, enhance collaboration while continuing to improve sales processes, and sustainably invest in innovation, these aspects are maintained worldwide The important weight of market competitiveness.

Luo Baihui said that from the point of view of the upstream and downstream industries of the mold manufacturing industry, the company's practice has confirmed the powerful functions of digital prototypes in the traditional processes such as product design processes and manufacturing. At the same time, the tool rationality, technical ideas, and application experience of digital prototyping, 3D printing, 4D printing, and 5D printing continue to be combined with industry applications to promote the transformation and upgrading of mold manufacturing companies and business model innovation. It is not difficult to see that "efficiency," "innovation," and "sustainability," etc. represent the thinking and innovation direction of the mold manufacturing industry.

In the process of shaping the differentiated competitive advantage of die manufacturing companies driven by technology, design is the key and core to achieving innovation goals. Luo Baihui said that design is everywhere and everything in the world cannot be separated from design. The impact of most molds and consumer products on the environment is determined during the design phase. Engineers such as engineers not only need excellent design tools in the process of the project, but also minimize the negative impact on resources and the environment. "Sustainable design" drives the world's innovations, and this is an important product concept for 3D printing mold solutions.

After tripartite linkage, China's mold industry has achieved initial success in transformation and upgrading. According to Luo Baihui, China has already entered the critical point of mold industry transformation and upgrading in advance.
