The competitiveness for the global mould manufacture industry in the early 20th century is large scale and reducing product cost , in the middle of 20th Century is improve overall efficiency and product quality, in the late 20th century is lead time, quality, price, service etc, since entering 21th century, it has become to the creative ability.
Since the policy of reform and opening for over 30 years, GDP of China mould manufacturing industry have developed to World Champion, in the future years, we will reach the change from big mould manufacturing to industrial power, improve the technology innovation capability and product quality level are the urgent demand for our manufacturing development. Speed up the mould digital revolution, push the transformation and upgrading from made in China to Wisdom in China, our economic development pattern will change thoroughly.’ The general secretary of International Mould Association Baihui Luo said, this leads to the competitive in manufacturing industry focus on the products develop speed and innovation capability, to increase the innovation capability and efficiency , digital strategy has become the first choice for the product innovation in the multinational manufacturers.
As known, digitization is based on the generation of numbers, processing, transferring, usage, altering and storage , with digital prototype as the core, a single data source management as link, Substituted analog in design, manufacturing and management processes within a digital amount, to replace the traditional techniques with digital technology，The only basis and as a digital design, manufacturing and management.
The core of digitization of mould manufacturing is digital manufacturing technology, digital manufacturing is a whole processing which under support of virtual reality, computer network, fast prototype, data base and multi-media, collect resource and information according to uses’ demand, analysising ,planning and reconstructing products information, processing information and resource information, simulating product design and function and prototype made, in order to manufacture products quickly that can satisfy users’ demand for the property.
Digital manufacturing way is an important development direction for the advanced mould manufacturing industry. Mould digital manufacturing is the result of the cross , blending, development and application of mold making technology , computer technology, Internet technology and management society, also is the inevitable trend for mold makers, mold system and processing. With the development of information technology, mold digital manufacturing is strength, interaction of mould making and IT, digitization of mould manufacturing becomes breakthrough for the IT transform traditional industries and establish the IT can drive industry upgrade.
