In recent years, China's mold industry has developed rapidly, but it is far from being able to adapt to the needs of national economic development. The main problem is the excess of low-end molds, but the high-end molds are in short supply and must even rely on imports. Therefore, mold companies must identify their own weaknesses, and our gap with foreign counterparts is mainly in the following five aspects.

Raw material problem

Due to the price restriction, domestic molds mostly use 2Cr13 and 3Cr13 for precision heat treatment, while foreign countries use special mold materials DINI, 2316, their comprehensive mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and polishing brightness are significantly better than domestic materials. This fundamentally affects the appearance quality and service life of domestic molds. Slow wire manufacturer

Manufacturing process level

Domestic mold manufacturers, the process conditions are uneven, the gap is very large. Many manufacturers rely on manual work to complete the equipment, which seriously affects the accuracy and quality. For example, China's unique fast-moving wire cutting is only found in China. Cutting precision is far from being precise, and it is a hotbed of shoddy production. Kunshan slow wire

Mold design system

 Although some domestic manufacturers have adopted computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing technology (CAM), they still stay in the stage of introduction, digestion and absorption, and it is difficult to form a mature theoretical guidance and design system. Therefore, it is imperative to standardize the development of mold design software systems.

Debug level

The mold is, in its essence, a tooling, and the production of a qualified product is the ultimate goal. Therefore, the quality and performance of the mold depend on the test results. Due to the short delivery time and the limitations of the test equipment, the domestic mold factory often puts the quality inspection work on the user's test mode, which is easy to cause a lot of loss and waste to the user. Moreover, it is often difficult to debug the best condition due to time and site restrictions. Some well-developed foreign companies have their own test sites and equipment, which can simulate the user's working conditions, so they can achieve good results in the shortest time limit.
