China has gradually become a major metal processing country and exporter in the world, and it has become one of the world's largest hardware manufacturers, with a vast market and consumer potential, mold hardware is also an important part of China's hardware industry, the "12th Five-Year" period is China's proper response The crucial period for the development of major environmental changes at home and abroad and accelerating the realization of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way is also a critical period for the healthy development of the mold manufacturing industry in China. Although there are many uncertain factors at home and abroad, China’s economic development is still in a period of rapid growth. China The comparative advantages of molds in the international mold market still exist, and the domestic mold market is expected to continue to be optimistic. The development of the mold industry presents a general trend.

First, the accuracy of the mold is getting higher and higher. Ten years ago, the precision of precision molds was generally 5 micrometers, and it has now reached 2 to 3 micrometers. Soon, a mold with an accuracy of 1 micron will be on the market. This requires superfinishing.

The second is the increasing size of molds. This is due to the development of "multi-cavity" due to the increasing size of mold parts and high production efficiency requirements.

Third, multi-functional composite molds will be further developed. In addition to punching and forming parts, the new multi-functional composite molds also carry out assembly tasks such as lamination, tapping, riveting, and locking, and the performance requirements for steel materials are also increasing.

Fourth, the proportion of hot runner molds in plastic molds has gradually increased. Since the hot runner technology can increase the productivity and quality of parts, and can greatly reduce the production of raw materials, the application of hot runner technology is rapidly developing in foreign countries. More than half of plastic molds produced by many plastic mold factories use heat flow. Road technology, some manufacturers use more than 80%, the effect is very obvious. Hot runner molds have also been produced in China, and some companies have increased their usage rate to 20% to 30%.
