Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Zhang Yuyun) The mold industry is a fundamental industry, known as the "mother of industry". Yesterday, the 22nd China International Mold Technology and Equipment Exhibition (DMC2023) opened at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai), focusing on optimizing and upgrading the industrial chain, forming two major exhibition sections of "precision machining" and "mold manufacturing", gathering over 700 exhibitors on the same stage, with an exhibition area of 60000 square meters, creating an efficient platform for connecting technology products in the industrial chain and supply chain.
As an important basic process equipment in the manufacturing industry, molds are mainly used for efficient mass production of relevant components and parts in industrial products, and are an important component of the equipment manufacturing industry. The mold industry is the world's largest horizontal industry, widely used in industries such as machinery, electronics, automotive, information, aviation, aerospace, light industry, military industry, transportation, building materials, medical, biological, energy, etc. About 60% to 80% of the components in these industries need to be processed and formed by molds. The rapid development of the mold industry has provided strong support for the manufacturing industry, and the industrial driving ratio of the mold industry is about 1:100, which means that the development of the mold industry is 100 million yuan, which can drive the development of related industries by 10 billion yuan. Therefore, the level of mold manufacturing has become an important indicator to measure the level of a country's manufacturing industry, and it is also an important guarantee for a country's industrial products to maintain international competitiveness.
As the largest mold manufacturing country, China accounts for over one-third of the world's mold production value and is the largest market for molds in the world. In 2022, China's mold production value will reach 330 billion yuan, and the industry will develop steadily. The total amount of imported molds is only 1.1 billion US dollars, demonstrating sustained internal circulation supply capacity; The total amount of exported molds was 7.7 billion US dollars, with a surplus of 6.6 billion US dollars; Over the years, the number of exporting countries and regions has exceeded 200, demonstrating strong competitiveness. The mutually reinforcing trend of international and domestic dual circulation has become clearer. Chinese molds support Chinese manufacturing and have become the protagonist of the international mold stage.
At the exhibition site, the Precision Equipment Hall of Hall 3H showcases the world's advanced five axis machine tools, high-speed machining centers, electrical discharge machining machines, laser processing equipment, 3D printing equipment, automation systems, measuring instruments, tool measuring tools, etc., showcasing the advanced manufacturing level of precision machining today and bringing the latest manufacturing equipment and processing solutions to mold enterprises. The 4.1H Hall Mold Hall is divided by regions of China's mold enterprises for exhibition, with more than 30 provincial and municipal mold associations participating in groups, and about 400 mold manufacturing enterprises gathering together. The exhibits cover the most complete categories of molds, fully demonstrating the complete supporting system, strong technical development capabilities, and powerful development momentum of China's mold industry.
Famous domestic and foreign enterprises have successively launched flagship products. Among them, Mitsubishi Electric unveiled its latest models, bringing cost reduction and efficiency improvement solutions to the audience in the fields of automobiles, electronic semiconductors, machine tools, and new energy; GF machining solution provides on-site zero distance experience with the excellent performance of efficient five axis machining centers; Makino's new generation high-precision vertical machining center e500 is another masterpiece in the field of precision machining. Its "e" design concept ensures accuracy while also improving efficiency and saving energy, helping to achieve "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality"; Beijing Jingdiao showcased its large-scale and efficient processing capabilities for micro scale parts on site. FAW Mold also showcased the new generation of black light factory - small flexible line, which integrates industrial robot technology and big data intelligent analysis technology on the basis of automation, networking, and digitization to form a deep integration of human, machine, and object. At this year's exhibition, a large number of lightweight and customized molds for automobiles appeared, such as aluminum alloy die-casting molds for new energy vehicle motors, electronic controls, and battery casings, as well as numerous lightweight solutions for car bodies, which have provided assistance for the transformation and development of China's automotive industry.
The organizer introduced that DMC2023 will also work together with the "Shanghai International Low Carbon Smart Travel Exhibition" and the "Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Technology, Products and Achievements Expo" to create a 150000 square meter upstream and downstream industrial chain interconnection and sharing platform, actively promoting the linkage of upstream and downstream enterprises in China's smart travel and low-carbon economy industrial chain, demonstrating the unique role of complementary promotion and integrated development. The "2023 Shanghai Heat Treatment Equipment and Technology Exhibition" and "2023 Shanghai International Hardware Exhibition" held at the same time provide new supply chain value for mold manufacturing enterprises through interconnection and interaction with mold enterprises and mold equipment enterprises.
