What is a mold apprentice? How long will it take to start?

Hello, the mold apprentice is learning to make molds. According to the situation you described, I will give you the following answer.

First, mold apprentices mainly learn to make molds. To be a qualified mold master, you must be able to use various machines to make molds. Such as lathes, grinders and drilling machines. Wire cutting, etc.

Secondly, apart from learning several commonly used softwares, generally CAD, this is relatively simple. For molds with complex structure and many curved surfaces, we must learn Pro/E.UG, MasterCAM, SolidWorks and other software. Of course, you only need to choose one of them.

Third, as for how much time you can study, it depends on your understanding and your factory. If you choose to be an apprentice, you must choose a bigger and more formal company. This kind of company will train some capable new people.

Fourth, learning to make molds is very suitable for your major, as long as you feel like it. And now the degree of automation of the machine is higher than before. It's not too difficult. You just need to learn the software well. The problem of hands-on is not the problem. As long as you study hard, you can start in three years. And the salary will go up step by step.

Fifth, if you really want to learn, be prepared to suffer. Because some of the work you just started is relatively simple and boring. And a little physical labor. Because they are all heavy things. In addition, be prepared to be scolded. This is a process, and we must learn to adapt. At the same time, we should learn to do well in interpersonal relationships. Find a master who you think is capable and get along well with him.

Six, in fact, there are really not many places to recruit mold design apprentices and apprentices. 70% are routines, just to spend less money and let you do more. Because if you want to learn something, you must do more. So you have to take a look and pay attention.
