Due to mold their own characteristics and modern mould enterprises are mostly reflected technology intensive, capital intensive and high-quality labor intensive and high social benefit and mold manufacturing industry has become a part of high-tech manufacturing industry. China mold industry has been close to 100 billion yuan mark, has formed a huge production scale. Beijing region of the mold enterprises, for example, Beijing existing mold enterprises reached more than 200, the annual production of hundreds of thousands of sets of molds. According to a leader of Beijing Association, the Beijing area focus on the development of automotive, electronics, energy saving and environmental protection industry need support of a large number of mold industry, of course, that will also promote the rapid development of mould manufacturing in the Beijing area. Although Beijing mould enterprise development is uneven, some good and some bad, but still emerged BYD Auto Stamping Die, the Great Wall Peony plastic extrusion mould, kangdipurui precision multi position into the mold and so on behalf of enterprises and products.

From the point of view of 2009 China's mold development level, development of the mould industry: large progressive die length has more than 3m, precision progressive die has been matched with 2000 times / min high-speed punching machine; hot runner mold and gas assisted die has reached international level; in CAD / CAM technology to get the popularity at the same time, CAE technology is applied more and more widely, the integration technology of CAD / CAE / CAM development, and achieve better results; mold new structure, new varieties, new technology, new materials innovations continue to emerge, patent number increased.

Multi position into the die and precision die represents the development direction of the stamping die, the requirements of high accuracy and life, mainly for supporting it electronics and information industry, semiconductor precision components, terminal connector, mobile phone shell, and so on. According to a Beijing it mold enterprises responsible person introduced, it mold in has a domestic based, and has been the introduction of the foreign advanced technology and equipment, products of individual enterprises has reached the world level, but most enterprises still have a large gap, the total are in short supply, import more. For ultra large scale integrated circuit matching, the lead foot 100 above and below the gap 0.2mm lead frame package, is more than 5mm accuracy of precision miniature connection fittings, below 1.6 mm in diameter micro motor iron core supporting and picture tube and electronic matching precision mould is the most important.

Experts predict that in the future the focus of the development of mold industry is can meet a large number of needs, and higher technological content, especially at home still could not be self-sufficient, to import large quantities of mold and can represent the direction of development of large, sophisticated, complex, the long life mold. Because of our country's mold products in the international market has a greater price advantage, so for the export prospects of good mold products will also become the focus of development.

The mold industry urgently needs the talented person, this is the bottleneck which restricts the mold industry development.

In the eyes of a leader of the Beijing Association, China's mold industry equipment, materials and software can be imported from abroad, and foreign and no gaps, as long as willing to invest, these can be is the best in the world. Industry generally believe that China's mold industry and developed countries compared to the mold industry, the real lack of talent is the process, is the management. Take management, foreign advanced management, a person can operate three or four machines at the same time, the maximum can reach 8 units, the management level is high, the personnel quality is high, basically can realize unmanned operation. But China's mold industry can not, because the Chinese people are still relatively small. Beijing, a IT mold company responsible person believes that the majority of young people are not willing to go deep into the scene, do not want to endure hardship. In the mold processing industry, in particular the need for experienced engineering and technical personnel, they need a lot of practical experience. In the mold processing industry, there is a very common phenomenon, that is, some teachers Fu, the old expert, has been sixty or seventy years old is still busy in the first line, because companies need their valuable experience.

Many people believe that advanced production equipment, that as long as a large number of imported equipment, will be able to produce high-end, sophisticated mold. In spite of the fact that it is true, we need to introduce a large number of foreign electric spark machine, wire cutting machine, precision grinding machine, machining center and other high-end, sophisticated processing equipment. But not as long as there are advanced equipment and software, we can all of a sudden become a powerful mold manufacturing. Qualified foreign talent, not only to operating various machine tools, but also the mold design, preparation process, in the process to discover inappropriate and improvement and modification, it can be said that this talent is most in need of the mold industry talent.

At present, the mold design talent and CNC numerical control processing talent, has become the talent market in the supply of. In terms of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, Dongguan City, 000 mold design talent training project has been for the Dongguan training of all kinds of skilled personnel 19563 people. According to the Zhitong talent market statistics, in recent years the mold enterprise in the procurement of a large number of numerical control equipment at the same time, the more urgent need to a large number of mold design, CNC programming, numerical control machine tool operation and maintenance technicians. However, the talent market, such talent reserves is not large, enterprises should be in the talent market to find the right people seem more difficult. There are statistical data show that only the Dongguan mold talent gap is more than 50000.

And most of the domestic mold enterprises, in personnel management, the quality of personnel, there are still serious shortage, which is mold companies in China and developed countries compared to the gap of the real root, so management system needs to be improved and perfected.

The streamlining of staff, "thin" type management, has become the developed countries - mold manufacturing personnel management mode. The size of most of Europe and other developed countries die enterprises, the number of employees more than 100 less number of mold enterprises are generally in 20~50. The enterprise personnel configuration is very streamlined, one more than one job, the enterprise can not see the idlers. Lean production, "thin" type management ideas are better reflected.

Europe and the United States mold enterprises, mostly around the automobile, electronics and other industries demand for various types of mold, determine their own product positioning and market positioning. In order to survive and develop in the market competition, each mold factory has its own advantages of technology and products, and have adopted the professional production methods. Europe and the United States most of the mold business has a number of long-term cooperation of the mold users, in large mold around the company has a number of mold manufacturers. This mutual benefit, mutual benefit, win-win cooperation partnership, and some have lasted for 30~40 years.

In many mold enterprises in China, research and development, innovation ability has been greatly improved, many new technologies have been widely used. Such as 3D design technology research and development, and application of information management technology development and application, double color injection molding technology development and application, such as thick welding plate stamping forming technique, high strength sheet hot forming technology. With the mold enterprises to pay attention to the personnel and management, with the application of new technology in mould industry, mould industry will usher in a period of vigorous development.

The use of advanced information management system, implementation of integrated management, has become the development trend of mould enterprises. Europe and the United States mold enterprises, especially large-scale mold enterprises, basically realized the computer management. The formulation of production plan, technology, quality inspection, to inventory, statistics, the widespread use of computers, various departments within the company can share information through the computer network. In Chinese, experts have long called for the need to strengthen the information technology and information management, but today, there are methods of production management of most enterprises is backward, and informatization, automation is still far away.
