1, mould enterprise production technology level, high and new technology in the die design and manufacturing, the application has become a manufacturing quality of mould fast effective guarantee. CAD/CAM/CAE, the application of information technology shows how a drive and improve the superiority of the mould industry, CAD/CAM/CAE has become a common mould enterprise application technology. CAD/CAM integration technology has set up a file in the casting mould  is widely used in industry, the 2 d is designed to use software is mainly AutoCAD, 3 d design software used more, basically have Pro/E, UG, Cimatron, etc. At present the casting mould  faw 3 D design has been above 95% in the three dimensional after the design using three-dimensional virtual assembly and testing technology for the check assembly interference, ensure the die design quality, ensure that the design and process of rationality. 3 d data after CAM software editor, NC code direct transmission to the numerical control equipment mould processing. The numerical control machine widely used, and to ensure the mould parts processing precision and quality, and greatly improve the accuracy of the mould and production efficiency. CAE technology also gradually applied to practical design, the production, the use of CAE simulation of metal filling process, analysis the cooling process, predict the forming process of possible defects and product development of the solidification simulation, the design optimization technology greatly, shorten the test of time. Faw casting Co., LTD, casting mold factory in some large complicated mould, such as engine cylinder block and head, gearbox shell mould has been used in the design of CAE technology flow field and temperature field simulation analysis, process yield gets great improve.

2, milling cavity mould processing is the important means. High speed processing (HighSpeedMachining, hereinafter referred to as HSM) is the high cutting speed, high speed and high in processing quality as the main characteristics of the processing technology, with the low temperature, cutting force small, smooth, and processing quality good processing, machining efficiency high (for ordinary milling of 5 ~ 10 times) and processing hard materials (up to 60 HRC), and many other advantages, thus in the mould processing in more and more attention. The high-speed machining technology into the mold industry, improve the precision mould, greatly reducing the mould manufacturing time. Research shows that, for general complex degree of mold, HSM processing time can be reduced by more than 30%. At present, the mould enterprise in order to shorten die making cycle, improve? A competitive, high speed machining technology more and more. HSM general is mainly used in large and medium-sized mold machining, such as automobile covering mould, die casting die, large plastic molds and surface processing, and the surface processing precision can reach 0.01 mm. In the production of high speed milling adopt numerical control technology, which can greatly shorten the die making time. The high speed milling of mould type surface finish machining, polishing and can be used only a little, and save a lot of the grinding, polishing time. Increased CNC high speed milling machine, is mold enterprise equipment investment priorities.

3, electrical discharge machining in casting mould  manufacturing is indispensable process method. Electrical discharge machining for harden deep, small mold processing is still effective solutions. Japan ShaDiKe company of straight motor servo drive of nc edm molding machine is drive quick response, transmission and higher precision and small thermal deformation, etc. Swiss summer of edm machine worked for the corporation with the P-E3 adaptive control system, PCE energy control system and automatic programming expert system, in the casting mould manufacturing has its irreplaceable role.

4, precision, complex, large-scale die of development, testing equipment to demand more and more. Now the accuracy of precision mould has reached 2 ~ 3 μ m, casting mould accuracy requirement to 10 to 20 μ m. At present domestic manufacturers use more testing equipment, the Italian, the United States, Germany has the function of digital scan three coordinate measuring machine. Such as faw casting Co., LTD, cast mould equipment factory has Germany the production of 1600 mm x 1200 mm three coordinate measuring machine, with digital scan function, can realize from physical measurement to established the mathematical model, the output NC code, and finally realize the whole process of mould manufacturing, successfully make reverse engineering technology in mould manufacturing the development and application. The equipment includes: the British company's high-speed scanners, lenny shaoxing (CYCLONSERIES2), the scanner can realize the laser head and non-contact measurement head complementary advantages, laser scanning precision is 0.05 mm, non-contact measurement accuracy of 0.02 mm head scan. Use of reverse engineering manufacture of mould, has the production cycle is short, high accuracy, good consistency and low price many advantages.

5, rapid prototyping manufacturing casting mould  has entered the stage of practical, LOM, SLS the reliability of the application method and the technical specification has reached the level of products abroad.

6, mould blank fast manufacturing technology. Mainly dry sand of epc and negative pressure of epc, resin sand of epc techniques.

7, user requirements mould delivery time and shorter, mould prices lower. In order to guarantee punctual, effective management and control of cost has become a mould enterprise survival and development of the main factors. The use of advanced management information system, realize the integration management, for mould enterprise, especially the larger mould enterprise, already is a very to solve. Such as faw casting mold factory basically realized the computer network management, from the production plan and technology formulating, and qc, inventory, statistics, accounting, generally make the computer management system, in the factory the department can share information through computer networks. Use of information technology, high and new technological transformation of the traditional mold enterprise production has become inevitable.
