China is a big mold manufacturing country. In 2016, the total output value of China's molds will reach 220 billion billion yuan, the export of molds will reach 5 billion billion US dollars, and the number of export countries and regions will reach 189. China's mold industry has maintained a pattern of steady development, further acceleration of transformation and upgrading, and clear prospects for improving quality and efficiency. At the same time, China is a big consumer of molds, which is widely used in transportation equipment mainly represented by the secondary market of 30 million automobile manufacturing and automobile maintenance, consumer industries mainly represented by household appliances and plastic products, information industry represented by integrated circuits, IT products, communication terminals and network terminals, and mechanical and electrical equipment and basic components industry mainly represented by instruments, electrical appliances, etc, as well as building materials and home industry, covering almost all manufacturing areas of the user industry.

At the same time, the development of China's high-speed rail trains, rail transit trains, medical equipment industry, commercial aircraft and other industries also rely on the protection of advanced mold processing and manufacturing technology, and the title of "mother of industry" is well deserved. In the face of such a large demand and the gradual increase in precision, what kind of development and innovation of mold manufacturing technology and equipment?

First, the employment direction of mold design:

Graduates social demand, good treatment. Mold processing production organization; Mold CNC programming processing; Mold three-dimensional design; Product development three-dimensional design. Other technical directions such as: electronic information, light industry production management, logistics management, equipment management, quality management, project management and product development, automobile industry, mechanical manufacturing technologists, CNC engineers, etc.

2. future mold design several development directions:

High precision. The accuracy of the size can be achieved. It was Japan, Germany that did the best before. With decades of continuous learning and innovation, a large number of companies specializing in high-precision mold manufacturing have emerged in our Chinese mold industry. To make high-precision molds, there are two main elements, one is equipment and the other is talent.

High efficiency means high automation. With the popularization of various automation equipment for mold production and the improvement of the intelligence of standard parts inside the mold, the efficiency of mold production is getting higher and higher, and it will develop towards a higher and better realm. In this process, the requirements for mold designers will become higher and higher. At that time, mold designers should not only understand the automation equipment, but also participate in the design. In the future with a high degree of mechanization, the term general worker will probably disappear. After the factory, there are only three kinds of people: managers, technicians and robots.

The new mold with the continuous progress of technological innovation. A lot of the original need to be very complex, very tortuous way to reach the mold can become very simple. There are also many structures that were originally thought to be impossible. These are new opportunities and challenges in the mold industry, specifically, the opportunities and challenges for mold designers, mold factories that have mastered these new mold design and manufacturing technologies will have more initiative. Mold, always rely on technology and quality to speak of the industry ah!

The trend of product development and mold integration is also inevitable. This change is a change that can affect the manufacturing model more than the assembly line instead of the all-round mold master. Simply put, it is a new post that combines mold design and product research and development into a new post, a brand-new post that can be responsible for the whole product from appearance to organization, to mold, to mold processing, mold production and product assembly. Become the absolute core of manufacturing.

Most of the newcomers in the mold industry are fresh graduates of mold majors, or graduates of majors related to machinery. Relatively speaking, the number of mold major graduates is still a little advantage, after all, understand some mold knowledge and mechanical drawing. Mold newcomers can be said to be the new blood of various positions in the mold industry. Without the supplement of new blood, the industry will not be able to operate reasonably.

The position of mold fitter (assembly fitter and mold repair fitter) used to be a versatile person, and the mold was basically made by them, but now the nature of this position has changed greatly, and the specific parts processing has been subdivided into various processing positions, so the fitter master is not required to be responsible. Now it is basically subdivided into two positions: assembly fitter and formwork fitter. Among them, the assembly fitter is mainly responsible for the assembly of the new mold, flying mold, mold test, etc., while the mold repair fitter is mainly responsible for the maintenance of the mold.
