Company's DHPDM system, etc.

2 domestic mold CADPCAEPCAMPPDM and international

Main gap of advanced level

Compared with foreign developed countries, China's mold industry

The development level of CAMPPDM technology is still very low, and there is a big gap. primary

It is manifested in the following aspects:

(1) The progress and level of software development are low.

At present, the core technology of 3D CADPCAM software is still in the palm.

In the hands of developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan. , mold occupies the mainstream position.

CAD software mainly includes ProPE, I2DEAS, UG, etc. And China came in third.

CADPCAM market is almost completely monopolized by foreign products. Every year

The amount of 3D CADPCAM software purchased by China manufacturing enterprises is as high as.

) 42 )

5 Electric Machining and Mould 620 10 Supplementary Special Edition

Billions of yuan, and increasing at the rate of 20% every year. such

The embarrassing situation not only makes manufacturing enterprises bear high cost pressure

Force, and the core tools to support product innovation are subject to people and heavy.

Big information and intellectual property security risks. And CADPCAEP in China.

The research and development of CAMPPDM technology is not well organized and planned.

Planning and paying attention to it leads to low-level duplication of work and influence.

The progress and improvement of software development, whether in function, technology

Compared with foreign products in operation, thought and stability.

There is a big gap.

(The application level of CADPCAM is obviously different.

CADPCAM technology has been obtained in domestic mold production.

Widely used. But for some large domestic mold enterprises, they

The application of CADPCAM mostly stays in purchasing advanced foreign products.

CADPCAM system and equipment based on and its secondary development.

Less, low resource utilization rate; Some small and medium-sized mold enterprises in China

CADPCAM is rarely used, and some just stay in the computer place.

Draw on the drawing board.

(3) CAE has not been widely used.

The application of CAE in China mold industry has just started, but

In enterprises with strong economic strength, such as FAW, Dongfeng and Haier.

Bit, just bought a small amount of commercial software and began to try it out.

(4) The information integration technology is backward.

The extensive integration of information technology is based on product data management.

(PDM) and process management (PM) to realize CADPCAM.

PDM is also very important in concurrent engineering.

The foundation of. However, China's research in this field has just begun and has already

There is no mature PDM system in domestic market. Therefore,

This kind of basic software has also been occupied by foreign systems.

(5) CADPCAEPCAM lacks knowledge integration.

Due to the lack of integration of design knowledge, mold design scheme

Selection and optimization of process parameters and die structure, and evaluation of formability

Wait, it still depends on mold designer's experience. Design knowledge is an enterprise.

The most valuable intellectual asset is the guarantee of enterprise competitiveness. Zaimu

Before the injection mold design industry, this knowledge mainly existed in the form of experience.

Mastered by senior design engineers, with their retirement and loss.

It will inevitably lead to the loss of enterprise core technology and directly lead to enterprise competition.

Competition is declining. CADPCAM system based on knowledge has been widely used abroad.

System, such as the design guide of multi-position progressive die of UGS company in the United States.

CAD system (progressive die guide) and the design direction of injection mold

Guide CAD system (mold guide), the two systems are seamlessly integrated.

In the company's three-dimensional mechanical CADPCAM system UG, for use.

Users provide the design environment and tools for progressive dies and injection molds, and will.

The professional knowledge of mold design provides a wealth of standardized mold bases.

Library, Part Library and Insert Library.

There are many reasons for the above gap, except for the long history.

In the past, as a product, molds have not received due attention, and there are also

List several main reasons:

(1) There is too little investment in scientific research and development and technical research. Due to the mold

The efficiency of enterprises is poor, and insufficient attention is paid to scientific research and development and technical research.

If the investment is too small, scientific research units and colleges and universities will be concentrated.

From the perspective of income, the pace of scientific and technological progress in the mold industry is not great, and the progress is slow.

Slow down.

(2) There is a serious shortage of talents. Mold industry is technology-intensive and capital-intensive.

Gold-intensive and labor-intensive industries, with the progress of the times and technology,

The talents who develop, master and apply new technologies are extremely scarce, and their technical quality is poor.

Advanced mold design and manufacturing technology and technical personnel, skilled workers and enterprises

Industry management talents are also very scarce. Especially the lack of extensive knowledge and insight.

Compound talents with high structural level.

(3) Lack of advanced technology and equipment. Most modules in China.

The mold processing equipment in factories and workshops is outdated, with long service life and poor accuracy.

Low efficiency. In recent years, many advanced mold processing equipments have been introduced.

Equipment, but too scattered, or not matching, the utilization rate is generally only about 25%.

Yes, some advanced functions of the equipment have not been brought into play.

(4) Backward management is worse than backward technology. Backward technology often

It is easy to see that backward management is sometimes difficult to achieve. Domestic and foreign models

The gap in enterprise management is very obvious, which is caused by the gap in management.

The problem is often more serious than the technology gap.
