The industrialization and commercial production of molds is the symbol of the progress and level of manufacturing technology and the technical basis of manufacturing modernization.
Modern mold design and manufacturing technology involves mechanical engineering, information and electronic engineering, metallurgy and material engineering, engineering management and other disciplines.
Mold production (design and manufacturing) technology can be divided into the following two stages, namely:
1. Manual workshop manufacturing stage; Mainly rely on the manual skills of mold workers. We can only make simple molds, such as single-process molds and bakelite molds.
2. Industrial production stage: general cutting machine tools and EDM machine tools are adopted to realize mechanization and standardized production technology. The forming accuracy of die parts can reach 0.0 mm level; Its universal parts have been standardized, mass production has been realized and the mold manufacturing cycle has been shortened.
