In recent years, my country's plastic molds have developed rapidly. At present, the proportion of plastic molds in the entire mold industry is about 30%, and the proportion of mold imports and exports is as high as 50% to 70%. With the rapid development of China's machinery, automobiles, home appliances, electronic information, building materials and other pillar industries of the national economy, this proportion will continue to increase.

Plastic mold technology includes many fields such as design technology, material selection, processing technology management and maintenance technology, and its development trends include the following aspects:

1. Design and manufacturing technology of large, micro and precision plastic molds

2. The standardization of molds will continue to increase

3. The integration of mold CAD/CAE/CAM technology is an inevitable trend
