In recent years, the structure of my country's automobile mold industry, whether it is enterprise organizational structure, product structure, technical structure, and import and export structure, has been developing in the direction of rationalization. In order to update and improve the level of equipment, automotive mold design and processing enterprises need to import several billion yuan of equipment every year.

The investment in innovation and development is still insufficient. The improvement of comprehensive R&D capabilities in the mold industry has seriously lagged behind the improvement of production capacity. The main problems are reflected in weak innovation capabilities; low overall efficiency; low levels of specialization, standardization, and commercialization. Poor collaboration; mold materials and mold-related technologies are backward; enterprise organizational structure, product structure, technical structure and import and export structure are not reasonable enough; compared with the international advanced level, the management of mold enterprises is more backward than technological. According to analysis by Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Mould and Metal Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, in the next ten years, the development trend of China's mould industry is: mould products are developing towards large-scale, precise, complex, economical, and rapid; the technical content of mould continues to improve The mold manufacturing cycle is continuously shortening; mold production is developing in the direction of informatization, non-graphical, refined, and automated; mold companies are developing in the direction of technology integration, sophisticated equipment, product branding, management information, and international management .

At present, mold processing companies with a mold output value of more than 100 million yuan nationwide are mainly concentrated in the field of automotive panel molds. For example: FAW Mould Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in automotive panel molds, Wuxi Guosheng Precision Mold Co., Ltd. in precision stamping molds, Haier Mould Co., Ltd. in large plastic molds, Tongling Sanjia Technology Co., Ltd. in plastic profile molds, rubber tires For molds, Guangdong Greatoo Mold Co., Ltd. and Jieyang City Tianyang Mold Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong Longji Group and Panqi Industrial Co., Ltd. for mold standard parts. Foreign investment accounts for a considerable proportion of mold companies with hundreds of millions of dollars. The mold is the "mother of the machine".

Automobile molds are the "pioneers" of automobile manufacturing. Automobile molds are classified according to their functions and can be divided into five categories: stamping molds and injection molds. As a cold stamping die, the car body large-scale cover mold is the most iconic process equipment product in the automotive mold. Because the manufacturing process technology of the large-scale outer cover mold of the car body is complicated, the size and surface accuracy are high, and high-precision numerical control equipment such as five-axis high-speed machining center is required, its manufacturing technology has been controlled by multinational professional companies for a long time. Most domestic car companies basically rely on imports for their large-scale exterior panel mould.

According to Luo Baihui, secretary general of the International Mould and Metal Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, in Shanghai Pudong Jinqiao, a domestic first-class car exterior panel mould base is quietly emerging. A few days ago, it was learned from Shanghai Seccoli Automotive Mould Technology Application Co., Ltd. that the company has tried its best and made great efforts to achieve its goal from "moulding with punching" to "moulding at the same time" in only 6 years. At present, it has been established. The product positioning is mainly based on the large-scale outer cover molds of the body, and the multi-station stamping molds, the thermoforming ultra-high-strength steel plate molds, and the progressive die stamping molds are supplemented by product positioning. The development capability of large-scale covering parts of car body inside. Completed the independent development and manufacturing of 293 standard sets of molds in 2010, with an output value of 100 million yuan
