China's mold industry status quo: high-tech popular, die talent shortage

In recent years, China's mold industry has accelerated the pace of system reforms and mechanism conversions. “Three foreign capitals” and private enterprises have occupied the dominant position in the industry. The level of equipment and products has been greatly improved, and management has made great progress. According to Luo Baihui's survey, there are more than 40 enterprises that annually produce more than 100 million yuan of molds in China, and more than 200 companies have more than 30 million yuan. The "Mould City (Park)" has a certain influence. 50. At present, the development of China's mold industry presents the following characteristics:

The first: high-tech is popular. The technical content of mold training continues to increase, and molds that are high-tech products are increasing. Many companies have applied CAD/CAM/CAE integration technologies, three-dimensional design technologies, information management technologies such as ERP and IM3, and many high technologies such as high-speed processing, rapid prototyping, virtual simulation, and network technologies. It is understood that there are four kinds of molds that have been listed by the relevant state departments in the "China's High-tech Products Export Catalogue". In fact, there are already many molds that have more than the technical content of these four molds, such as automotive parts advance molds, precision multi-position progressive molds, car large-scale complex cover stamping molds, automated automotive interior parts casting molds, high strength Plate hot pressing molds. With the development of high and new technology, more and more mold manufacturing enterprises have been recognized as high-tech enterprises by relevant government departments at all levels. According to preliminary statistics from the China Modular Association, there are currently seven state-level high-tech enterprises in the mold industry, and there are nearly one hundred high-tech enterprises at the provincial and municipal levels.

Second: The shortage of mold talent. Although the rapid development of the workforce in China's mold industry in recent years, it is estimated that it has reached nearly one million people, but it still can not keep up with the development needs of the industry. First, the total amount is insufficient, and second, the quality is not enough to meet the needs of the development of the industry. According to Luo Baihui's survey, there are about 300,000 to 500,000 employees in the mold industry in the country, of whom about 20% are engineers and technicians. At present, particularly in short supply are high-quality and high-level mold enterprise managers, middle- and high-level technicians, and advanced technologies. worker. The reason is mainly that graduates from colleges and universities have poor hands-on skills and are completely out of line with factory job requirements. Most of the social training institutions do not have a real strength level. There are many mold training institutions of all kinds, but they are mixed, especially In Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, there are hundreds of training institutions, but few of them are truly reputable and powerful. An in-depth investigation has found that they can spend as much money as the Shanghai Xinyou NC mold training center to build their own mold workshops for foreign production. There are few training institutions that create ideal training conditions.
