Digital die will dominate the automotive manufacturing sector

The digital mold manufacturing technology can effectively improve the design level of the mold, shorten the time from design to production, shorten the manufacturing cycle of the mold, and improve the quality of the mold. The so-called digital mold production technology is the application of computer technology or computer-aided technology (CAX) in the mold design and manufacturing process.

Summing up the successful experience of computer-aided technology applied by domestic and foreign automotive mold companies, the digital automobile mold production technology mainly includes the following aspects:

First, the design for manufacturability (DFM), which considers and analyzes manufacturability at design time, ensures the success of the process.

Second, with the aid of profile design, the development of intelligent profile design technology.

Third, CAE assists in the analysis and simulation of the stamping process, predicting and resolving possible defects and forming problems.

Fourth, replace the traditional two-dimensional design with a three-dimensional mold structure design.

Fifth, the mold manufacturing process uses CAPP, CAM, and CAT technologies.

Sixth, processing problems solved in the trial moulding process and stamping production are handled under the guidance of digital technology.

“The above six aspects basically cover the entire process of designing and testing digital automotive molds, and together they constitute the automotive mold production system and represent the current direction of automotive mold production technology.” Die expert Luo Baihui said that due to digital mold production With the above advantages, the technology will gradually become the mainstream technology in the automotive mold manufacturing field.
