With the widespread application of plastic products, the development of plastic injection molds is also getting faster and faster. The overall trend of the mold market is steady and upward. In the future mold market, the development speed of plastic injection molds will be faster than other molds. The proportion in the industry will gradually increase. Among them, the plastic injection mold processing technology generally shows the following development trends:

1. The increasing size of mold forming parts and the high productivity of parts requires a mold with multiple cavities, which has led to the increasing size of molds. Large molds with large tonnages can reach 100 tons, molds with hundreds of cavities and thousands of cavities. The equipment has a large workbench, increased y-axis and z-axis travel, large load bearing, high rigidity, and high consistency.

2. The mold steel material used is high in hardness and requires mold processing equipment with thermal stability and high reliability.

3. For complex cavities and multi-functional composite molds, as the shape of the product becomes more complicated, the design and manufacturing level of the mold must be improved. Multiple grooves and multiple materials are formed or assembled into components in a set of molds. Functional compound molds require a large number of processing programming programs, comprehensive cutting capabilities and high stability for high-depth cavities, which increases the difficulty of processing.

4. The refinement of plastic injection mold processing makes the complexness and efficiency of processing equipment more attractive. High-speed milling has many advantages such as the ability to process hard materials, stable processing, low cutting force, and low temperature deformation of workpieces, which make mold companies pay more and more attention to high-speed processing.

5. High dynamic accuracy. The static performance introduced by the machine tool manufacturer cannot reflect the actual processing situation when the three-dimensional mold surface is processed. The high-precision machining of the three-dimensional surface of the mold also requires the high dynamic accuracy performance. High speed and high precision can only be realized in conjunction with the high rigidity, thermal stability, high reliability and high-quality control system of the machine tool.
