Mould is the basic process and equipment of industrial production. In electronics, automobiles, motors, electrical appliances, instruments, home appliances and communications and other products, 60% ~ 80% of the parts and components depend on the mold forming. The level of mold quality determines the level of product quality. Mold is "benefit amplifier", the value of the final product produced by the mold is often dozens of times, hundreds of times the value of the mold itself.

The technological level of mold production and the level of scientific and technological content have become an important symbol to measure the level of a country's science and technology and product manufacturing. It largely determines the quality and efficiency of products, the development ability of new products and determines the international competitiveness of a country's manufacturing industry.

The technical level of die and mould industry in China has also made great progress in recent years. Large, precision, complex, efficient and long life mold on a new level. The large complex punching die is represented by the automobile covering die, which has been able to produce the covering die of some new cars. The coverage of multi-station progressive die, which reflects the high level of manufacturing technology, has expanded from the motor and electric iron chip die to the connector, electron gun parts, air conditioner radiator and other home appliance parts die. In the aspect of large plastic moulds, we have been able to produce plastic case moulds for 48-inch TV sets, complete plastic moulds for 6.5kg large-capacity washing machines, and moulds for car bumpers and integral instrument panels. In the field of precision plastic mould, we can produce camera plastic mould, multi-cavity small module gear mould and plastic sealing mould. In terms of large precision and complex die-casting molds, China has been able to produce die-casting molds for escalator integral pedal and die-casting molds for automobile rear axle gearbox. Other types of moulds, such as radial tire flexible moulds, aluminum alloy and plastic doors and Windows profiles extrusion moulds, have also reached a higher level, and can replace imported moulds.

According to the development of the domestic and international mold market, the relevant experts predict that the future of China's mold after the adjustment of industry structure, will present ten development trends: first, the mold is becoming larger and larger; Two is the precision of the mold will be more and more high; Third, multi-functional composite die will be further developed; Four is the hot runner mold in the plastic mold proportion will gradually increase; Five is the gas auxiliary mold and adapt to the high pressure injection molding and other processes of the mold will have a greater development; Six is the mold standardization and mold standard parts of the application will be increasingly widespread; Seven is the prospect of rapid economic die is very broad; Eighth, the proportion of die casting die will continue to increase, while the life and complexity of die casting die will also put forward higher and higher requirements; Nine is the proportion of plastic mold will continue to increase; Ten is the mold technology content will continue to improve, the proportion of high and medium mold will continue to increase, which is also the change of the future trend of the mold market caused by the adjustment of the product structure.
