Today, with the vigorous development of high and new technologies, to ensure the rapid growth of the mold industry, which belongs to the high-tech sector, many common technologies in the mold industry must also be further improved. Dongguan mold factories should continuously develop and promote the application of high and new technologies, and actively apply them. They mainly develop software with independent intellectual property rights, suitable for China's national conditions, and of a relatively high level for mold design, processing and mold enterprise management, constantly improving the intelligence and integration of the software. Promote and apply high-speed and high-precision processing technologies and develop corresponding equipment. High-speed and high-precision machining includes cutting machining, electrical discharge machining and compound machining, etc. In the next 15 years or so, China's machine tool industry should gradually provide the mold industry with corresponding equipment suitable for high-speed and high-precision mold processing. If possible, it is recommended to develop high-precision mold manufacturing equipment with independent intellectual property rights and an accuracy of 0.0001mm. Further development, improvement and application of new technologies for rapid prototyping and rapid economic mold manufacturing. Vigorously develop and promote information technology and digital technology.

For example, the research and development as well as the promotion and application of reverse engineering, concurrent engineering, and agile manufacturing technologies; Including the research and development of advanced 3D design and manufacturing technologies for large-scale progressive dies, high-precision, high-complexity and high-tech content molds; The research and development of a digital design and manufacturing system for body molds, including stamping process design systems, mold surface design systems, forming analysis systems, mold structure design systems, mold CAM systems, and stamping expert consultation systems. Integration, flexibility and automatic processing technology of molds, as well as network and virtual technology, etc. New processes and technologies in mold manufacturing. Energy-saving and material-saving technologies in mold manufacturing, new technologies for mold heat treatment, surface finishing and surface treatment, etc. The development, serialization and correct selection of high-performance mold materials. In addition to continuing to enhance production capacity, China's mold industry should, in the future, focus more on adjusting the internal structure of the industry and improving the level of technological development. In terms of structural adjustment, the main focus is on the professional adjustment of enterprise structure, the development of product structure towards medium and high-end molds, the improvement of import and export structure, the forming analysis and structural improvement of medium and high-end automotive body panel molds, the application of multi-functional composite molds and composite processing as well as laser technology in mold design and manufacturing, high-speed cutting, ultra-precision processing and polishing technology, and the development in the direction of informatization.
