Development status and future trend of digital mold manufacturing technology

Mold is an important part of plastic molding processing, mold design and manufacturing level can directly affect the comprehensive benefits of industrial and machinery manufacturing production. Because different industries have different requirements for mold specifications and quantity, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of mold manufacturing, and cooperate with the use of advanced digital manufacturing technology, so that the mold manufacturing environment can better achieve the development goals of low-cost, high-quality and short cycle.

1, mold digital manufacturing technology development status

At this stage, the basic theory of plastic molding for mold manufacturing has been formed, and the numerical simulation technology of plastic molding with the help of finite element method is more mature, which lays a solid foundation for strengthening the control of mold manufacturing. The application of various advanced technology automation control technology has effectively improved the quality of mold manufacturing and simplified the mold manufacturing cycle.

At present, digital manufacturing has been completed as an important means of competition for mold production enterprises, and digital manufacturing technology has been further applied in each production link of molds. Not only that, digital manufacturing technology has greatly changed the information storage, processing, and transmission methods in the whole process of mold production, and the mold manufacturing industry has also shifted from the original traditional manufacturing to knowledge-based development.

2, mold digital design technology

At this stage, mold manufacturing enterprises will set development goals in enhancing product market competitiveness, improving product production quality, and shortening product development cycle. Most mold manufacturing enterprises apply the three-dimensional design analysis method with the global product model as the goal, which effectively improves the level of mold design. With the continuous acceleration of the development of digital technology, the mold design link also needs to refine and innovate the traditional design experience and theory, and fundamentally improve the level of mold manufacturing.

The traditional mold design work is limited by the lack of numerical integration, multi-task and functional involvement. Through the use of digital design means, the development of a special KBE system for the mold manufacturing process can fundamentally improve the design effect, and the knowledge inheritance, integration and management of the design process can be efficiently carried out, forming an open design environment and constantly innovating design means.

During the development of digital innovative design work, multi-domain knowledge and multi-description knowledge can be integrated management, and product models can be established to provide an important basis for the intelligent production of subsequent products. With the use of engineering knowledge propagation technology, the use of machine learning and other ways to optimize the engineering data in the database, to maximize the requirements of information management, process management, decision management and so on.
