Mold Designer

Mold designers are engaged in the digital design of corporate molds, including cavity molds and cold punching dies. On the basis of traditional mold design, they apply digital design tools to improve mold design quality and shorten mold design cycles. of staff. Simply put, a model is made before a product is produced, and the mold designer is the person who designs the model. Mold design is the core of industrial production. The most important economic support for a country is industry. Developed countries in the world have developed through industry;

There is no doubt that mold design is the first stop for industrial design. He needs excellent talents, but it is impossible to recruit as many people as ordinary workers, but he definitely needs a lot of talents.

In mold design, mold design is now being used to improve production efficiency. Hardware mold design, plastic mold design, glass mold design, and even ceramic technology are all applying mold design, so this ranges from electronic products to large machinery and automobile mold design. High-end design talents are needed; the main tasks engaged in mold design include:

(1) Digital drawing - converting three-dimensional product and mold models into two-dimensional engineering drawings used in conventional processing;

(2) Digital design of the mold - based on the product model and design intent, establish a relevant three-dimensional solid model of the mold;

(3) Digital analysis and simulation of the mold - based on the product forming process conditions, Carry out structural analysis, thermal analysis, fatigue analysis and mold motion analysis of mold parts;

(4) Simulation of product forming process - injection molding, stamping forming;

(5) Customize standard parts and standard design processes suitable for our company's mold design;

(6) Mold production management. The future development of molds will mainly have the following development directions:

One: high precision.

Dimensional accuracy is the most important factor in manufacturing high-precision, high-quality, high-tech products. Japan and Germany were the best in the past. With decades of continuous learning and innovation, a large number of companies specializing in high-precision mold manufacturing have emerged in our Chinese mold industry.

To make high-precision molds, there are two main elements, one is equipment and the other is talent. As the number of high-end devices in China increases dramatically, this is no longer a problem. There are also talented people. Many of them come from foreign capital or joint ventures to start businesses, or are bosses or supervisors. They rely on the skills they have learned to compete with their old employers. The future development of molds will mainly have the following development directions:

That is, high automation. With the popularization of various automated equipment (mainly robots) that cooperate with mold production, and the improvement of the intelligence of standard parts inside the mold (mainly hot runners), the efficiency of mold production is getting higher and higher, and it will move towards Aim higher and develop to a better state. In this process, the requirements for mold designers will become higher and higher. At that time, mold designers must not only understand the automation equipment, but also participate in the design.

In the future, there will be only three types of people in factories: managers, technicians, and robots.

Three: New Molds

With the continuous advancement of technological innovation, many molds that originally required a very complicated and tortuous way can become very simple. There are also many structures that were originally thought to be impossible have become possible. These are new opportunities and challenges for the mold industry. Specifically, they are opportunities and challenges for mold designers. Mold factories that have mastered these new mold design and manufacturing technologies will have more initiatives.

Mastering high-tech molds requires profound design and manufacturing background. The huge profits of these new molds will be a good return for companies that have invested a lot of money in this. These high-tech technologies can also become a good resource for the company to build its reputation and strive for better customers. chips!

To briefly name a few mold types that have appeared in recent years: molds that rotate and eject from four sides, molds that slide and fit plastic products after secondary injection molding, injection molding and stamping integrated molds, high-speed continuous punching molds, etc. .

Four: Integration of product development and molds

This trend is also inevitable. This change is a change that has a greater impact on the manufacturing model than the assembly line replacing the all-round mold master. To put it simply, mold design and product research and development are integrated into a new position, a brand-new position that can be responsible for a series of tasks of the entire product from appearance to mechanism, to mold, to mold processing, mold production, and product assembly. Become the absolute core of manufacturing.

Five: Summary

The mold industry still has a lot of potential, because after all, it is the two cores of the manufacturing industry, especially when these two cores begin to merge into one core in the future. Another golden age is coming! Even if the current recession is indeed difficult and difficult, this industry cannot be denied! Especially for such a basic industry.
