Technology Empowers, Diversified Breakthroughs — The Mold Industry Embraces New Opportunities for High-Quality Development

2026 04/07

Since 2026, with the global manufacturing industry transforming towards refinement, greenization, and intelligence, molds, known as the "mother of equipment manufacturing", have ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. Recently, a number of technological innovation achievements have emerged in the industry. Core products such as Die Casting Die, Gravity Die Casting Mold, Hot Stamping Die, and Low-Pressure Die Casting Mold have been upgraded iteratively, and the intelligent adaptation capabilities of Patterns for Molding Line and Core Boxes have been continuously improved, jointly promoting the mold industry to leap from "scale growth" to "value improvement".
 

In the field of die casting and casting, technological innovation has become the core driving force for product upgrading. As the core equipment of high-pressure die casting technology, Die Casting Die has achieved precise forming of conformal cooling channels relying on the breakthrough of metal additive manufacturing technology. The cooling efficiency has been increased by more than 30%, and the service life of the mold after a single mold repair has exceeded 20,000 times, which has greatly reduced the production cost and yield problems of large die castings, and is widely used in the production of automotive integrated die casting parts. At the same time, relying on structural optimization and material upgrading, Gravity Die Casting Mold has shown more excellent stability in the production of aluminum alloy and copper alloy castings, adapting to the production needs of small and medium batch, high-precision castings, and has become the core supporting equipment in the fields of general machinery and automotive parts.
 

Focusing on the demand of the lightweight industry, Low-Pressure Die Casting Mold has made breakthroughs in the production of magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy castings. By accurately controlling the pouring pressure and temperature, it effectively solves the defects such as shrinkage holes and air holes in traditional low-pressure casting. The products such as electric drive housings and suspension parts produced by it balance lightweight and structural strength, meet the weight reduction needs of the automotive and aerospace fields, and the market demand shows a steady growth trend.
 

In the field of metal forming, the technological upgrading of Hot Stamping Die is particularly remarkable. To meet the processing needs of advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), the new generation of Hot Stamping Die adopts high-wear-resistant and high-thermal-conductivity die steel materials, combined with an AI-enabled self-optimization system for process parameters, realizing the integrated and efficient completion of stamping forming and quenching processes. The tensile strength of the produced body structural parts can reach more than 1300MPa, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures product precision, providing key support for the lightweight and safety performance improvement of automotive bodies.
 

In addition to core mold products, the supporting capabilities of Patterns for Molding Line and Core Boxes have also been upgraded simultaneously. Through the combination of digital design and 3D printing technology, Patterns for Molding Line has realized rapid customization and precision improvement of patterns, adapting to the production needs of different specifications of molding lines, whether it is single-piece small-batch production or large-scale mass production, it can achieve efficient adaptation; as the core equipment for sand core preparation, Core Boxes have launched various types such as half core boxes, split core boxes, and drop-off core boxes, with materials including wood, metal, plastic, etc., which can be flexibly customized according to the needs of casting inner cavity structure, effectively improving the forming precision and production efficiency of sand cores, and providing guarantee for the mass production of complex castings.
 

Industry experts said that the current mold industry is in a critical period of technological iteration. The technological breakthroughs of core products such as Die Casting Die and Gravity Die Casting Mold, together with the supporting upgrading of Patterns for Molding Line and Core Boxes, have built a diversified and high-precision mold product system. In the future, with the in-depth integration of intelligent manufacturing, additive manufacturing and other technologies, the mold industry will further break through material and process bottlenecks, promote the equipment manufacturing industry to develop in a higher quality, more efficient and greener direction, and inject new momentum into the global manufacturing upgrading.
