Recently, with the global manufacturing industry to intelligent, green transformation, injection mold industry ushered in a new round of technological upgrading. As the core equipment for the production of plastic products, the design and manufacturing level of injection molds directly affects the production efficiency and product quality in the fields of automobiles, home appliances, consumer electronics and so on. Industry experts said that the application of new technologies such as 3D printing, AI design, and digital factories is reshaping the competitive landscape of the injection mold industry.

3D printing technology: shorten the delivery cycle and reduce material waste

Traditional injection mold manufacturing relies on CNC machining, which has a long cycle and high cost, and the introduction of 3D printing technology has completely changed this situation. A head mold company used metal 3D printing technology to shorten the mold delivery cycle from 30 days to 7 days, and the material utilization rate increased by 40%. In addition, 3D printing can also achieve complex flow channel design, optimize the injection molding process, and reduce the rate of product defects.

Ii. AI Design: From "experience-driven" to "data-driven"

In the mold design process, AI technology is gradually replacing traditional manual drawing. Through deep learning of historical data, the AI system can automatically generate optimal design solutions, reducing design time by more than 50%. The AI design platform launched by a company has been successfully applied to the development of automotive interior parts molds, and the yield has increased to 99%.

Third, digital factory: production efficiency increased by 50%

With the advancement of Industry 4.0, injection mold companies have built digital factories. A demonstration base through the Internet of Things technology t
