Restricting the roots of the mold manufacturing technology is the high-end multi-axis linkage CNC machine tool for machining molds. The output value of the Chinese mold industry exceeded 1.8 trillion yuan, an average of 17%, which is more than double the average value of China's GDP. The automotive industry is one of the major downstream applications of the mold industry. About one-third of China's mold products serve the automotive industry.

The mold is the basic process equipment for the automotive industry. More than 90% of parts and components in automobile production rely on mold forming. The production of an ordinary car requires 1500 sets of molds, of which more than 1,000 sets of stamping dies. In the development of new models, 90% of the workload has been carried out around the changes in the body profile. About 60% of new vehicle development costs are used for the development of bodywork and stamping processes and equipment. About 40% of the vehicle manufacturing cost is the cost of the body stamping and its assembly.

The proportion of future mold services to the automotive industry will continue to increase. According to the market share of automotive molds accounting for about one-third of the mold industry, the scale of the automotive mold market in 2014 reached 600 billion yuan.

China's key backbone mold enterprises reached nearly 110, among which stamping dies accounted for about 37%. These figures strongly prove that China has become a major country for auto mold manufacturing, said Luo Baihui, Secretary-General of the International Model Association.

More than 90% of parts and components in automobile production rely on mold forming. In the United States, Japan and other developed countries in the automotive industry, over 40% of the products in the mold industry are automotive molds, while in China only 1/3 of the mold products are for automobiles. Manufacturing services.

According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China’s auto production capacity will reach 34 million in 2015, and such a huge market demand will bring unlimited business opportunities for China’s auto mold industry. China's mold industry must develop toward an intensive route and take the intensive development path. It is necessary to work hard to achieve the “low input, high output” business goals. This requires mold companies to proceed with changes in many aspects.

The domestic automobile mold industry is developing very fast, and the manufacturers of automobile molds have already reached a considerable scale and quantity. Analysis of the industry, mold production is still in the low-end of the repeated construction, high-end mold products still have a big gap. With the continuous development of the domestic auto industry to the high-end, the requirements for molds are also increasing. At present, the development, design and manufacturing capabilities of China's high-end molds are far from fully meeting the needs of the automotive industry in China. High-end molds are still required. A lot of imports.

Therefore, to solve the difficult problem of relying on imported high-end molds, we must first raise the level of mold manufacturing in China. To improve the manufacturing level of our molds, we must begin by developing and manufacturing some high-end molds.

Experts said that the source of the constraints on mold manufacturing technology is the high-end multi-axis linkage CNC machine tool for machining molds. We must continue to work hard to develop high-end multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools with high-speed, compound, intelligent, environmental protection and other functions, in order to promote the domestic auto mold industry continues to move toward high-end.
