Great breakthrough in domestic mold product quality

The mold industry has not been known for a long time. With the rapid development in recent years, the domestic mold industry has made tremendous breakthroughs in quality and quantity. According to statistics, at present, the production scale of the mold industry in China has accounted for nearly 10% of the world total, ranking third in the world after Japan and the United States. Recently, with the approach of the Guangzhou International Mould Exhibition, the development of the mold industry has received more attention. An interview with the reporter found that the current domestic mold industry is facing a tide of technological innovation, with the support of new technologies, the mold industry will seek greater development space in the upgrade.

The industry has a bright future

According to statistics, China has become a major exporter of molds. In 2012 alone, mold exports reached 1.371 billion US dollars. As Chinese manufacturers invest heavily in production technology to produce more sophisticated products to meet the growing demand in the international market, China's mold export volume is expected to increase substantially.

When interviewed by this reporter, Liang Zhichao, the deputy general manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co., Ltd., believed that the prospects of China's mold industry are broad, but there is still a certain gap between China's mold technology and the current international level, and the backward technology of mold technology. The independent development of many industries in the manufacturing industry is greatly restricted. Some high-tech molds still rely on imports. In addition, foreign advanced enterprises have paid more attention to the protection of technology in recent years, which has caused difficulties for the introduction of technology by our mold enterprises. . It is imperative to improve the manufacturing level of the mold industry in China as soon as possible.

In fact, according to Liang Zhichao, at present, the mold industry is raising an upsurge of science and technology. The promotion of this upsurge further accelerates the reform of the mold industry in China. Liang Zhichao believes that the Chinese mold industry is facing a big wave of sandstorm, a technological revolution is emerging, many new companies will show off from this revolution, but more small-scale companies will be hanging in the middle of this revolution . In his view, technological innovation has become a way out for the further development of mold companies.

New technology sought after

With the formation of global market integration, the competition in the manufacturing industry is fierce, and the speed of product development has become a major contradiction. For the current development of the mold industry, some experts believe that the domestic mold enterprises are gradually carrying out structural adjustment and upgrading, turning to refined, specialized, and strong lines.

The reporter learned that the mold industry now has a special dependence on specific users, a wide variety of products, a very large size, different requirements, more companies to meet the changing needs of users, began to accept small quantities or even single-piece production orders. How to increase the development speed without increasing the cost of products has become the first problem that every company needs to solve. The new technology has become the object of business pursuit. When interviewed by this reporter, Liang Zhichao, the deputy general manager of Guangzhou Guangya Messe Frankfurt Co., Ltd., believed that new technology has become the main driving force for the transformation of the Chinese mold industry.

Rapid prototyping technology is a major achievement in the manufacturing field in the past 20 years. It uses 3D CAD data to quickly accumulate layers of material into physical prototypes through rapid prototyping machines. Liang Zhichao gave an example to introduce that this new type of technology has greatly shortened the production cycle, reduced the production cost, and improved the efficiency and productivity. This process is more apparent in the manufacture of molds with high geometric complexity and is conducive to accelerating the process of product formation and market promotion.

The changes in the Chinese mold industry will greatly affect the development of the entire manufacturing industry. More companies are concerned about the investment and use of new technologies. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Mastering the latest production technologies will help companies reduce their production costs and increase their competitiveness. Liang Zhichao told reporters.

New Technology Showcase Industry Show

According to Liang Zhichao, in September this year, Guangzhou will hold an international mold exhibition. The exhibition will be held in Guangzhou Poly World Trade Center Expo from September 24 to 26, 2013 for a period of 3 days. The biggest feature of this exhibition is the display of innovative technology in the mold industry.

This year's exhibition site will feature a special exhibition area for rapid prototyping to further demonstrate the latest manufacturing technologies. Liang Zhichao told reporters that during the exhibition, many famous companies, such as Fairchild, Forfei Technology, Xianmeng 3D, 3D Systems, Huaying Hi-tech, Hangzhou Mingzhan, Tianjin Weishen, Westek, etc., will show the audience the latest Rapid prototyping manufacturing technology. According to reports, the Guangzhou International Mould Exhibition, with an area of ​​24,000 square meters, is expected to attract more than 20,000 visitors from all over the world.

The exhibitors from this year's exhibition come from 15 countries and regions. It is estimated that there will be 400 exhibitors. The exhibition also invited a number of professional buyers to visit, the site will bring together nearly 100 well-known companies in the Pearl River Delta to visit, it is expected that about 1,500 professional procurement staff, delegation personnel from BYD, Changan signs Citroen, Foxconn, Gree Electric, Midea Group, Mitsubishi Electric, Dongfeng Nissan, Nokia Communications and TCL.
