In recent years, with the rapid development of construction hardware, automotive electronics, digital technology and other industries, the booming production and sales of the mold industry has become the mainstream, and the development of the mold industry has become the engine of the metal stamping industry. Luo Baihui, secretary-general of the International Model Association, said that due to the continuous development of large mold demanders such as machinery, automobiles and electronic information industries, China's mold output has maintained a rapid growth of more than 25%; from an international perspective, on the one hand, China's mold prices have relatively high prices. With strong competitiveness, the proportion of international manufacturers entering is increasing year by year. On the other hand, the transfer of mold consumption to China in industrially developed countries will slow down, and the mold industry will continue to run at a high speed.

With the development of the market economy, the brand effect has become more and more important, and "operating the brand" has become a very important task for mold companies. With the deepening of quality obligations and emphasis on environmental protection, a large number of mold companies have passed the ISO9000 international quality system certification and ISO14000 environmental management certification. At the same time, a large number of high-tech enterprises have been added to the industry, including national, provincial and municipal levels, and many enterprises have established mold technology centers or R&D centers. Guangdong will become the mold industry center of the world. At present, there are more than 10,000 mold companies gathered around Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta region, with more than 200,000 employees.

The R&D and production of CNC machine tools in China will have the following trends:

1. Composite processing technology is more widely used. New composite processing machine tools such as turning-milling and milling-turning composite machine tools, turning-grinding composite machine tools, gear processing composite machine tools, turning-milling composite and 5-axis linkage combined machine tools and other products continue to emerge; heavy-duty machine tools increase multi-function Accessories and turntables, etc., the trend of composite processing is obvious; new progress has been made in the combination of metal cutting and special processing, and the composite technology of laser, electrical processing and cutting processing has mature product promotion and application. The promotion and application of compound processing technology will have an important impact on the multi-variety and small-batch production process.

2. The application speed of direct drive technology is accelerated. Due to the advancement of power electronics and numerical control technology, as well as the maturity of components such as linear motors, torque motors, electric spindles, and grating detection, the application speed of direct drive technology in CNC machine tools is accelerating. Many foreign machine tool companies The new products of the company have been driven by linear motors. The application of direct drive technology will greatly promote the structural change and performance improvement of CNC machine tools.

3. Emerging micro-manufacturing technology Micro-manufacturing (Inter-Micro) refers to an efficient, green, high-precision micro-manufacturing new technology, which is used to process various micro-parts in 3D shapes. At present, under the funding of the European Union, a research team composed of universities, research institutes and enterprises in Germany, Italy and other relevant countries has achieved relevant results, such as: ultra-precision 5-axis linkage micro-diamond and cubic boron nitride tool processing technology equipment, etc. . Micro-manufacturing technology has great application potential and should attract the attention of the industry.
