Dongguan mold industry introduces 3D printing technology to improve product quality.
As a new technology, 3D printing has become a tool for linking intelligent manufacturing.Recently, via letter bureau in dongguan, dongguan electronic information industry association, dongguan zhongke YunZhi industry incubation co., LTD. Intelligent training activities, which are held together at the event, kingman photoelectric technology co., LTD., dongguan city, released a industrial-grade 3 d printers, specifically for dongguan mold enterprises service.
"Through to the customer to provide mould figure for the analysis of the hot spots in the corresponding inhibit mold cooling efficiency to find the area with the shape of the reentry after the design of the water solution, after waiting for customers confirmation through design, import the layered software and production machine, can proceed to the 3 d printing mold.""This is the real operation process of mass production of 3D printing technology for molds," said zhou liping, an engineer with dongguan kangming optoelectronic technology co., LTD.
Compared with traditional production, using 3D printing technology to produce mold efficiency and yield is higher."Because the production of the mold needs to be in a special environment such as high temperature, this leads to the phenomenon that the traditional processing mode is prone to high thermal imbalance and high defect rate," zhou liping said.Nowadays, 3D printing technology is applied, and the production of molds can be evenly heated in all positions, which directly improves the product quality.
It is worth noting that the application of 3D printing technology can also shorten the cycle of mold forming.According to the traditional production mode, only 100 molds can be produced in an hour.Using 3D printing technology, there are as many as 1000 molds in an hour.
Li-ping zhou said: "the use of 3 d printing technology inside the mould can make 3 d conformal waterway, so as to greatly improve the cooling efficiency, shorten the molding cycle, not only save the cost, and improve the quality of the products, and enhanced the competitiveness of the enterprises.Currently, it is widely used in injection molding industry in Europe, America and Japan.
As the leading enterprise of plastic mold industry, dongjiang holdings is a model for the application of 3D printing technology to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.It is reported that dongjiang holdings through 3D printing technology, a set of molds earn more than 110,000 yuan per month.According to the responsible person of the enterprise, the customer request molding cycle is 25 s, because the PC material molding temperature is very high, so the cooling water must be fully and evenly, 3 d printing technology can perfectly solve the problem.
The development of 3D printing technology is promising.
With the development of 3D printing technology, it is widely used in industrial vertical field, so industrial application will be the largest component of 3D printing market share.
And as the international manufacturing city, dongguan in the IT industry, precision machinery industry led by a sustained and rapid development, group after group of hardware mold enterprise emerge, changan, horizontal drain has become the town of dongguan hardware mold industry, China and Thailand mould, zhongxing mould, bo hengda mould and Taiwan a full extension and so on enterprise development momentum is very strong.Relevant statistics show that every 100 million yuan mold industry can drive about 10 billion yuan of related industry development.
"The combination of mold and 3D printing plans will have unexpected chemical reactions.""One is an indispensable tool in modern industry, one is high-tech, and the combination of the two will make a qualitative leap for dongguan's industry," zhou said.
Mechanical mold association for the advancement of science and technology, guangdong province, deputy secretary-general and deputy director of the committee of experts, south China university of technology school of mechanical and automotive engineering professor liu is introduced, with the improvement of the technology mature and related supporting, industrial-grade 3 d printers are beginning to automobile, mold development, etc.Taking the mold industry as an example, the acceptance of 3D printing is getting higher and higher.
Liu bin said that dongguan, as the main gathering place of the mold industry, this year, more and more enterprises began to use 3D printing equipment.If large-scale application of 3D printing equipment in the future, the production mode of dongguan mold industry will be overturned.
