What are the majors in molds?

Question 1: What are the majors in molds? First of all, you have to position yourself which type of molds to learn, such as plastic molds, stamping molds, die-casting molds, automobile covering molds, etc. According to the types of these molds, there are Whether you are an ordinary employee or a mold apprentice in a factory of this type of mold, you can understand the structure and principles of the mold, and then collect books and information about this type of mold (there are many in online forums), study in detail, and learn from the masters. Of course, you can also choose to study based on the types of molds you currently have access to.

The suggestion is to learn on the job and apply what you have learned to get half the result with half the effort. While practicing, you should choose computer software according to the type of mold you have learned to lay the foundation for future design work. Plastic molds, die-casting molds, and automobile covering molds generally use UG, pro/e. Stamping molds generally use CAD. You also need to choose a 3D software, such as UG, pro/e, or SOLIDWORKS. Also, don’t think or believe that you can do mold design as long as you learn software well (there are many training courses that advertise mold design, but in fact they only train software. Software is only a small part of mold design. There were no computers before. When using software, the mold teacher still makes the mold through manual drawing).

Question 2: What is the specialty of mold? Mold is a tool used to shape objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts.

In industrial production, various molds and tools are used to obtain the required products by injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die-casting or forging, smelting, stamping, stretching and other methods. In short, it mainly achieves the processing of the shape of the object through changes in the physical state of the molded material.

According to the different materials being formed, molds can be divided into metal molds and non-metal molds. Metal molds are further divided into: casting molds (non-ferrous metal die-casting, steel casting), and forging molds, etc.; non-metal molds are also divided into: plastic molds and inorganic non-metal molds. According to the different materials of the mold itself, the mold can be divided into: sand mold, metal mold, vacuum mold, paraffin mold, etc. Among them, with the rapid development of polymer plastics, plastic molds are closely related to people's lives. Plastic molds can generally be divided into: injection molding molds, extrusion molding molds, gas-assisted molding molds, etc.

Main courses:

"Advanced Mathematics", "Material Mechanics", "Heat Treatment of Metal Materials", "Engineering Mechanics", "Mechanical Drawing", "Basics of Mechanical Design", "Plastic Mold Design" , "Cold Stamping Mold Design", "Mechanical Manufacturing Fundamentals", "Tolerances and Fits", "Pro/E Mold Design", "UG Mold Design", "Mold Fitter Technology", "Computer Application", "AutoCAD", " "Practice of Machining Operation Skills", "CNC Programming and Processing", "Special Mold Processing", "MasterCAM, Pro/E Mechanical Design", Graduation Project and "Mold Manufacturing".

Question 3: What is the major of mold manufacturing? It is a branch of mechanical manufacturing. It belongs to the category of tooling and fixtures. It is not taken seriously in state-owned heavy industries. In the coastal Yangtze River Delta, mold design and manufacturing refers to mastering mold design and manufacturing. Basic professional knowledge and strong practical work ability

Question 4: What is the most important thing about the mold professional course? Based on the actual situation, here I would like to try to provide some suggestions for your reference.

1) Engineering drawing is the foundation of this major and an indispensable "language" for technical communication at work. As a mold designer, you must use the most concise view to accurately and clearly express the structure of each part. As a mold master, you must accurately understand every information conveyed in the drawings. The foundation must be laid firmly.

2) Computer-aided design and processing (CAD/CAM) is a tool for mold design and processing. Currently, the more popular CAD software in the industry include Pro-E, UG, Solidworks, AutoCAD, MasterCAM, etc. It is best to be proficient in one, and have a deeper understanding of the others.

3) Metal materials and heat treatment are very useful in practical work. It can give us insight into the various properties of mold materials and tell us why we choose this material over another. Of course, there may be some differences between the metal materials that can be learned in school and those actually used in the industry.

But the things in the course are always basic.

4) Tolerance fitting and technical measurement must be learned well.

5) Plastic/stamping molding process and equipment. Mold engineers must have a deep understanding of both metal materials and engineering plastics. In addition, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of the molding process and its equipment.

6) Mold manufacturing process and equipment, if you don’t understand the process and equipment, talking about design will be like a castle in the air. Of course, the best way to learn this kind of professional course is to practice while learning. Professional mold manufacturing equipment includes Lathe, Drilling, Grinding, CNC, EDM, Wire-Cut, Jig-Grinding, etc.

7) Moldflow analysis (Moldflow).

8) Industry trends. Must understand before graduation.

9) Foreign language. With the continuous development of the industry, many companies are gradually going international, and many large companies themselves are multinational groups. If you are not proficient in a foreign language, especially English, it will be difficult for you to get ahead.

I wish you good luck in the Year of the Ox and good academic progress!

Question 5: What major does mold manufacturing and design belong to? It belongs to mechanical engineering. This major has developed quite well in the machinery industry recently, because I am in this industry. I will develop well in the future. I suggest It would be better to learn automotive molding.

Question 6: What is the professional category of mold design and manufacturing? Mold design and manufacturing is a professional name in itself.

Professional name: Mold design and manufacturing

Professional code: 580106

Years of study: three years, four years

Academic level: Junior College, Undergraduate

Nature of study: General higher education, full-time junior college

Subject Category: Manufacturing

Training objectives: Cultivate people engaged in mold processing technology, production and maintenance High-level technical application professionals with advanced capabilities.

Question 7: What major should I study in college that could be related to molds? There is no undergraduate program such as mold design. This category is too small, so he agreed to call it the Department of Mechanical Engineering, which is usually offered by vocational colleges. Of course the good ones are, the mechanical majors at Tsinghua University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University are all good. If you major in mold and die, you will learn the same things there. The key depends on your own understanding and future internships. There is also the application of 3D software.

Question 8: What are the main courses for the mold design and manufacturing major: basics of computer applications, mechanical drawing and tolerances, CAD technology and applications, CAM technology and applications, stamping technology and die design basics, plastic molds Plastic and plastic mold design, mold manufacturing technology, professional English, mold price estimation, mold CNC technology, basic electrical and electronic technology, machine tool electrical control, electrical disassembly and assembly practice, various production practice and other courses.

Question 9: Employment prospects of the mold major. According to Zhitong Talent Market statistics, the demand for mechanical and electronic talents by recruiting companies has always been high, and mold positions are among the best. The personnel managers of many companies have shown great enthusiasm for mold design talents and CNC numerical control processing talents. Mold design talents who understand drawing software, can read drawings, can use AUTOCAD, PRO/E, etc. to draw mold drawings and processing drawings, have certain work experience, and understand processing technology, can use MASTERCAM or UG to write tool paths, and have certain CNC experience CNC processing talents are the most urgently needed talents in society at present. The future is bright for CNC mold technicians.
