Optimizing the mold manufacturing supply chain to enhance international competitiveness.

With the development of information technology and computer network technology, the mold manufacturing industry has entered a new era of globalization, and competition is becoming increasingly fierce. The market’s demands for product quality, production processes, and time to market are also getting higher and higher. Under such circumstances, cost control, production efficiency, and technical factors have become the key points for mold manufacturing companies to create differentiated advantages.
It is understood that the top three choices of mold companies for future competitiveness achievements are: optimizing and simplifying the manufacturing process to improve production efficiency; accelerating innovation and shifting from “mold manufacturing” to “mold intelligent manufacturing”; and optimizing supply chain management to take a holistic view.
In fact, for mold manufacturing companies, how to effectively reduce operating costs, improve mold engineering efficiency, launch high-quality products in a timely manner, enhance collaboration while improving the sales process, and sustainably invest in innovation are the main keys for them to maintain their competitiveness in the global market.
From the perspective of the upstream and downstream industries of the current mold manufacturing industry, the company’s internship has verified the powerful functions of digital prototypes in traditional processes such as product planning and production manufacturing. At the same time, the continuous improvement of the rationality of tools, technical concepts and application experiences of digital prototypes, 3D printing, 4D printing and 5D printing are constantly combined with industrial applications, promoting the transformation and upgrading of mold manufacturing companies and the transformation of business models. It is not difficult to see that “efficiency”, “innovation” and “sustainability” are representing the considerations and transformation directions of the mold manufacturing industry for the future.
In the process of depicting the competitive advantages of mold-making companies driven by skills, planning is the key and core to achieving innovation goals. The environmental impact of most mold-made products and consumer goods is determined in the planning stage. Engineers and other planners not only need excellent planning tools in the project process but also need to minimize the negative impacts on capital and the environment to the greatest extent, driving the transformation of the world with “sustainable planning”, and this is precisely the main product concept of 3D printing mold solutions.
