China quality injection mould supplier how to make plastic mould

The plastics industry has a history of 120 years. After more than a century of development, plastics have been integrated into all aspects of human working days, from machinery, electronics, cars, information, aviation, aerospace, light industry, military, Traffic, building materials, medical, biological, energy and other occupations can be touched, and 60%-80% of the parts and components in the above-mentioned occupations are processed by mold processing, so the mold is an important process in data forming processing. The long history of the entire plastics industry has played an insignificant role, and thus often has the reputation of “the mother of industry”. Although the plastics industry has been in operation for more than a century, and China's plastic mold industry started late, but fortunately, as a rising star, the domestic plastics industry has shown a speed of spurt development. Specifically, the development of mold planning and production skills in China has experienced the germination stage of hand-craft workshop production, the rapid development of industrial production, the product competition stage and the modernized brand competition stage.
Especially in recent years, following the rapid development of China's car industry, electronic information, home appliances, building materials and machinery occupations, the mold profession has been completed rapidly. At present, the total amount of mold production in China has already ranked in the forefront of the world, and there are many mold production enterprises. However, the overall level of mold planning is still behind advanced countries such as Germany and the United States. The specific performance is that molds with low skill content have been oversupplied, while medium and high-grade molds with high skill content are far from satisfactory for the needs of the national economy, such as precision. There are still a large number of advanced molds for complex stamping dies and plastic molds, car cover molds, electronic connectors and other electronic products. In order to get used to the new situation and meet the challenges of the world's high-end molds, China's mold profession has continuously improved its skill level in recent years. Many companies have applied CAD/CAE/CAM integration skills, 3D planning skills, information management skills such as ERP and IM3, as well as many high-tech skills such as high-speed machining, rapid prototyping, virtual simulation, robot skills, intelligent production and network skills. Enterprises with various quality system certifications have also gradually increased. Overall, the future domestic plastic mold industry will present five major development trends:

1. Mold accuracy requirements are higher

With the continuous improvement of the days and production levels, the requirements for product structure are also constantly increasing, which requires the mold to have the same higher ornamental and more precise functional planning. The traditional mold processing method has high dependence on the individual skill of the operator, the use of various tools is complicated and complicated, and the processing cycle is also long. It is no longer satisfactory for the requirements of plastic mold making. Therefore, high-precision three-dimensional structural molds will become a new demand point, and the future development of molds will be carried out in the direction of precision, three-dimensional, high-efficiency and rapid.

2. Higher plastic mold life requirements

Plastic mold life is an important parameter of the mold, which is related to the quality of the product and the overall cost of the product. At present, the service life of the mold is above 1 million plastic cycles, and for higher-demand products, it is possible to select imported steel with higher quality. Production, but the data cost and processing costs also increased accordingly.

3. Mold making cycle is shorter

Nowadays, the market competition is fierce, and the speed of product upgrading is fast. How to make products appear faster and better in front of consumers is the key to success. Therefore, the product is required to be controlled from planning to finished product output in a very short period of time; moreover, many products are assembled from a variety of structures and data combinations, and plastic parts are often required to be planned and efficiently formed in a short period of time. Therefore, the plastic mold production cycle is shortened, and at this time, a higher production process and production power are required to satisfy the entire production demand.

4. Planning and production division of labor is clearer

At present, detailed and professional plastic mold planning and production division and cooperation methods have been formed in China. The product requirements are proposed by the enterprise, and then the planning company proposes the 3D modeling and then proposes the planning plan. After the plan is determined, the professional mold development company will carry out the mold making, and the finished mold will be transferred to the plastic processing factory for the plastic production. These links are now specialized and large-scale, not limited to the local, but can be completed through a professional industrial chain, and the production features are geographically separated and more detailed.

5. The company will carry out the specialization of segmentation

Plastic molds usually only need to make one or several sets to satisfy the production requirements. They are produced in single products, but there are many accessories that make up the mold. From the largest mold base to the smallest thimble, it is vital. Accessories affect the quality of the final product, so the quality of each accessory must meet the very high precision and quality requirements. Therefore, the requirements for the subdivision and specialization of accessories have been improved. As long as the professionalism is completed and the higher quality products are produced, the industrial methods of the past will be eliminated, and the supply chain will be refocused after a reshuffle. The company's talents for products are better developed. Faced with the challenges of advanced foreign technology and high-quality products, China's plastic mold industry should continue to increase the research and development of plastic materials and injection molding technology, accelerate the integration of resources to the park, and the level of tooling test results must be kept up. In order to shorten the distance from the world's advanced level in terms of skills, management, and tooling levels.
