Mold digital design and manufacturing and enterprise information management technology is an internationally recognized effective technical means to improve the overall level of the mold industry, which can greatly improve mold production efficiency and product quality, and enhance the comprehensive level and efficiency of enterprises. High-tech molds represented by large, precise and complex molds are currently imported in large quantities, and imported molds account for about 50% of china high-end mold market. Compared with the international advanced level, we have a gap of about 5-10 years. The gap is mainly reflected in precision, life, manufacturing cycle and stability and reliability. The backwardness of digital design and manufacturing technology is one of the most important reasons for product backwardness.

Although this technology has been applied to different degrees in China, high-end software mainly relies on imports, and its domestic development capability is weak, and its application level is low. According to reports, the main key technologies included in this technology are: mold optimization design and CAD/CAM/CAE integration technology, especially 3D design and computer simulation analysis technology, mold modularization, integration, and collaborative design technology; EDM, PDM, PLM, MES and other information management technologies; rapid prototyping and rapid prototyping technology; virtual network technology and the establishment of public service platforms. Through the breakthrough of these key technologies, the independent innovation capability and market competitiveness of mold enterprises can be greatly improved, the domestic market satisfaction rate of high-tech molds can be effectively improved, and large-scale exports can be made, thereby improving the overall level and enterprise benefits of China’s mold industry.
