Die is for the parts that are formed products service, so the mold must take the parts (forming products) development trend for their own development trend mold must meet their requirements. The development trend of parts is mainly light, exquisite, fast and efficient production, low cost and high quality, each of which indicates the mold development trend. The following are briefly analyzed:

If you want to be light, you will increase the use of plastics and develop new materials, including a variety of new plastics, modified plastics, metal plastics, magnesium alloys, composite materials, and so on. This requires a new forming process, which also requires a new mold to adapt to it. For example, in order to reduce the weight of automobiles, more and more high strength sheets are used. Thermal forming of some ultra-high strength sheets and corresponding hot forming dies will naturally become the development trend and so on.

To be exquisite, it requires a beautiful appearance, without internal defects, which requires fine, precision and high-quality molds to adapt to it. At present, we have a large gap in refinement, and refinement is often neglected and fails.

Fast and efficient production, on the one hand, requires mold enterprises to shorten the mold production cycle as far as possible, as soon as possible to the mold user delivery mold, on the other hand, it is more important to enable users to use the mold you provide to produce products quickly and efficiently. For example, a multi cavity, multi-component production, laminated mold, hot runner technology to shorten the forming time, and use multi-layer composite technology, mold decoration technology, high gloss, non trace injection technology, on-line detection technology, multi process composite technology, multi row and multi station technology and so on. At the same time, the intellectualization of the forming process also requires intelligent mold to adapt.

Low cost, this is not only through the mold production design, processing, assembly to achieve low cost mold manufacturing and low cost supply, more importantly, to enable mold users to use the mold to achieve low cost production. This puts forward higher requirements for moulds. Mold manufacturing enterprises must make the mold users make money before making money. In the process of requiring low cost, whether mold manufacturing enterprises or enterprises using mold, constantly improving management and gradually realizing information management are the common requirements of enterprises and the direction of progress and development.

High quality, to achieve high quality products, first of all must be the high quality of the mold, mold stability must be good, to ensure the consistency of products is also good, but also to ensure life. High quality mold is closely related to technology.

In addition to the above points, many new areas, emerging industries, new parts and personalized requirements are also constantly put forward new requirements for molds. So the trend of development itself is also developing.
