The mold industry in China has achieved remarkable accomplishments to date. With the rapid growth of China's economy, industrial production increasingly demands high-quality and diverse molds. Facing such a huge market, foreign machine tool manufacturers have long been "eyeing" it closely. However, in the face of this strong "invasion," most domestic machine tool manufacturers seem to be "indifferent."
This huge market for mold processing equipment has been left to machine tool manufacturers from Japan, Europe, and Taiwan, China.
Although many factors have led to this situation, the fact that the big cake has been divided is indisputable. How to "take back" the market is a question domestic machine tool manufacturers need to consider!
The mold market is "too tempting to resist" "Too tempting to resist"
In 2004, China's mold output value (excluding data from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) was 53 billion RMB, an increase of 17.8% over the previous year. Mold exports reached 491 million USD, up 45.7% from the previous year (both exceeding the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" 2005 targets of 49 billion RMB output value and 300 million USD export value). Imports were 1.813 billion USD, up 32.4% from the previous year, resulting in a foreign trade deficit in molds of 1.322 billion USD. The growth rate of China's mold market in 2005 was also above 15%, meaning the total output value of molds in China in 2005 was very likely to exceed 60 billion RMB.
For a period of time, the mold industry’s demand for mold processing equipment mainly included the following types: CNC machining centers, CNC milling and CNC profiling milling machines, electric discharge forming machines, wire cutting machines, coordinate grinding machines, coordinate boring machines, boring and milling machines, forming grinding machines, optical curve grinding machines, band saws, deep hole drills, electrode processing machines, engraving machines, polishing machines, mold closing machines, three-coordinate measuring machines, scanners, special machines for processing mold standard parts, high-performance heat treatment equipment, rapid prototyping equipment, various cutting tools and grinding machines, mold CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM software, computer workstations, and microcomputers, etc.
The vast mold market has injected new vitality into related industries, especially promoting the development of the machine tool industry, while also raising higher requirements for machine tool technology and others.
With the continuous development of advanced technologies such as concurrent engineering and reverse engineering in mold processing, mold processing demands CNC machines to have capabilities such as digital transmission and conversion, multi-axis linkage, high precision, high efficiency, high flexibility, and automation; electrical processing equipment requires high efficiency, low loss, high precision, mirror processing, electric discharge CNC milling, and machining centers; three-coordinate measuring machines require high precision, high speed (measuring many dimensions within a certain time), ease of operation, three-dimensional scanning digital systems, low-pressure contact and non-contact measurement, on-site high flexibility, online measurement, and strong software functions. In summary, mold processing equipment should enable mold enterprises to achieve high precision, high efficiency, high flexibility, and even automated processing, while striving to meet mold manufacturing requirements for high quality, low cost, long service life, and short cycles.
