Digitized Manufacturing Technology in Die & Mold

Based on the review of achievements of plasticity forming and die mold technology, the important tendency of die mold industry, digitalization, is pointed out in this paper. Several main supporting technologies of digitized die mold manufacturing is also put forward, i.e., digitized die mold design, manufacturing, analysis and resource management in production. The current status, research emphases and future direction of these supporting technologies are analyzed as well. Finally, the authors pointed out that it is important to strategically continue the research and development of digitized die mold manufacturing technology, and accelerate the traditional die mold industry by digitized manufacturing technology.
