The manufacturing level of the domestic mold industry continues to improve.
China’s mold market is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth, particularly in the area of plastic and rubber molds, which have seen substantial development. As evidenced by China’s import and export data for molds over recent years, the value of imported plastic and rubber molds far exceeds that of exported molds. To improve China’s import and export situation for plastic molds, it is essential to accelerate the development of domestically produced plastic molds. To this end, we must promptly overcome the two major bottlenecks hindering the development of the mold industry. The first is the insufficient rate of mold standardization, which inevitably leads to extended lead times and makes it difficult for users to replace parts. Low mold standardization also directly restricts specialized division of labor and collaborative efforts within the mold industry, as well as the commercial circulation of molds, thereby limiting their export potential. In 2011, China’s mold standardization and commercialization rates were around 55%, leaving a considerable gap compared to those of developed countries, where commercialization rates typically range from 70% to 80%.

Analysis of Factors Influencing Mold Deformation and Corresponding Mitigation Measures
We will not discuss the general principles governing thermal treatment deformation here. Instead, we will briefly analyze some of the factors that influence mold deformation. First, let’s examine the impact of mold materials on thermal treatment deformation—specifically, how the chemical composition and initial microstructure of steel affect thermal treatment distortion. From the material’s perspective, the primary way in which composition influences thermal treatment deformation is through its effects on hardenability and the Ms point. The resulting deformation is thus affected.

The mold industry needs to prepare itself to embrace the era of big data.
Today, with the advent of the information age, an increasing number of traditional mold-making enterprises have come to recognize the importance of transformation. By leveraging big data technologies of the current era, these enterprises can break through existing barriers and achieve breakthroughs. As the “mother of industry,” the mold-making sector undoubtedly needs to take advantage of all the conveniences offered by the information age to equip itself fully, truly keeping pace with the times and embarking on a path of continuous advancement.

Advantages and Market Development of the Smart Mold Industry
For mold manufacturing enterprises, designing higher-end products is an effective way to enhance their competitiveness. Meanwhile, the trend toward intelligent social and daily life is driving mold manufacturing to transition from traditional practices into smart production. So, what trends will China’s mold industry exhibit in its future journey toward intelligent development? The design of entirely new molds represents the most critical step in improving product quality, and numerous factors must be taken into account, including the selection of mold materials, the practicality and safety of the mold structure, the machinability of mold components, and the ease of mold maintenance. In fact, as scientific and technological levels continue to advance, low-cost human resources are gradually being phased out, and automation and intelligent manufacturing have become key development directions for modern manufacturing.
