【正文】 eeds of national economic development. At present, the domestic needs of large, sophisticated, plex and long life of the mold also rely mainly on imports. According to customs statistics, in 1997 630 million . dollars worth of imports mold, not including the import of mold together with the equipment。 Mould Industry and manufacturing capacity, China39。s advanced industrial countries and regions, the proportion of plastic forming die die general of the total output value 40%. Most of our stamping die mold for the simple, singleprocess mode and meet the molds, precision die, precision multiposition progressive die is also one of the few, die less than 100 million times the average life of the mold reached 100 million times the maximum life of more than accuracy 3 ~ 5um, more than 50 progressive station, and the international life of the die 600 million times the highest average life of the die 50 million times pared to the mid 80s at the international advanced level. China39。s mold industry currently uneven, with wide disparities. Generally speaking, with the developed industrial countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan 8 advanced level, there is a large gap. The use of CAD / CAM / CAE / CAPP and other technical design and manufacture molds, both wide application, or technical level, there is a big gap between both. In the application of CAD technology design molds, only about 10% of the mold used in the design of CAD, aside from drawing board still has a long way to go。 in the application of CAM technology manufacturing molds, first, the lack of advanced manufacturing equipment, and second, the existing process equipment (including the last 10 years the introduction of advanced equipment) or puter standard (IBM PC and patibles, HP workstations, etc.) different, or because of differences in bytes, processing speed differences, differences in resistance to electromagic interference, working is low, only about 5% of the mold manufacturing equipment of recent work in this task。 in the mold mon technology, such as mold rapid prototyping technology, polishing, electroforming technologies, surface treatment technology aspects of CAD / CAM technology in China has just started. Computeraided technology, software development, is still at low level, the accumulation of knowledge and experience required. Most of our mold factory, mold processing equipment shop old, long in the length of civilian service, accuracy, low efficiency, still use the ordinary forging, turning, milling, planing, drilling, grinding and processing equipment, mold, heat treatment is still in use salt bath, boxtype furnace, operating with the experience of workers, poorly equipped, high energy consumption. Renewal of equipment is slow, technological innovation, technological progress is not much intensity. Although in recent years introduced many advanced mold processing equipment, but are too scattered, or not plete, only about 25% utilization, equipment, some of the advanced functions are not given full play. Lack of technology of highquality mold design, manufacturing technology and skilled workers, especially the lack of knowledge and breadth, knowledge structure, high levels 9 of pound talents. China39。 and staff employed after 80 years, expertise, experience lack of handson ability, not ease, do not want to learn technology. In recent years, the brain drain caused by personnel not only decrease the quantity and quality levels, and personnel structure of the emergence of new faults, lean, make mold design, manufacturing difficult to raise the technical level. mold industry supporting materials, standard parts of present condition Over the past 10 years, especially the Eighth FiveYear, the State organization of the ministries have repeatedly Material Research Institute, universities and steel enterprises, research and development of special series of die steel, molds and other moldspecific carbide special tools, auxiliary materials, and some promotion. However, due to the quality is not stable enough, the lack of the necessary test conditions and test data, specifications and varieties less, large molds and special mold steel and specifications are required for the gap. In the steel supply, settlement amount and sporadic users of massproduced steel supply and demand contradiction, yet to be effectively addressed. In addition, in recent years have foreign steel mold set up sales outlets in China, but poor channels, technical services support the weak and prices are high, foreign exchange settlement system and other factors, promote the use of much current. Mold supporting materials and special techniques in recent years despite the popularization and application, but failed to mature production technology, most still also in the exploratory stage tests, such as die coating technology, surface treatment technology mold, mold guide lubrication technology Die sensing technology and lubrication technology, mold to stress technology, mold and other antifatigue and anticorrosion technology productivity has not yet fully formed, towards 10 mercialization. Some key, important technologies also lack the protection of intellectual property. China39。 Mould Industry Structure in Industrial Organization China39。 products factory mold factory or workshop, in order to supply the product works as the main tasks needed to die。 township mold business, and professional mold factory is similar. Of which the largest number of firstclass, mold production accounts for about 70% of total output. China39。 Mould Industry Association, overall planning, focus on research, crosssectoral, interdepartmental management difficulties are many. Mold is suitable for small and medium enterprises organize production, and our technical transformation investment tilted to
