2. Sino-German mold technology cooperation assists the development of the Ningbo mold industry

The Ningbo mold industry, which is being "graded" from mid- to mid-range to mid-to-high grade, will receive the help of the mold developed country Germany. According to Luo Baihui, head of the International Die & Metals and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, Germany is one of the world’s most powerful mold makers and one of the world’s most important mold suppliers. Deng Yubo, secretary-general of the German International Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce, learned that Ningbo has developed manufacturing industries, many private enterprises and flexible mechanisms. Ningbo is close to the surrounding economically developed cities such as Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou, and has a vast market and cooperation opportunities. At the same time, Ningbo's mold industry ranks in the forefront of the country, and the desire for seeking technical cooperation is also very strong. All these have provided a basis for cooperation for German companies to implement industrial transfer. Similar to Ningbo, the manufacturing industry in Germany is also very developed and it is now necessary to transfer industries.

The German International Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce together with the German government visited Ningbo and launched the “China-EU Strategic Partnership Action Plan” expressing their willingness to cooperate with Chinese companies. The Secretary-General of the German International Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce stated that the annual production value of German mold workers is 300,000 Euros, while China is only 10,000 Euros. The gap is relatively large. Through technical training and the introduction of advanced equipment, it hopes to help Ningbo mold enterprises increase their technological level. And efficiency. At the same time, through the introduction of German companies to participate in the exhibitions in Ningbo and China, the German mold enterprises will further understand the technical conditions and market demands of Chinese companies and promote the in-depth cooperation between Ningbo and the German mold industry.

The German International Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce and the Ningbo Mould Enterprise Association signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The three major ways of technical training, technology introduction and exhibition cooperation will be used to achieve cooperation between China and Germany mold industry. If the cooperation goes smoothly, it will promote the upgrading of molds and related industries in Ningbo and technological progress. According to the agreement between the two parties, Ningbo and the German mold industry will first cooperate in technical exchanges and personnel training, the introduction of advanced mold manufacturing equipment and software, and exhibition cooperation. The German International Entrepreneurs Association will establish a special liaison office in Ningbo to assist the agreement. Implement and carry out.

3, China-Australia mold market prospects for cooperation

In recent years, Australia’s economy has developed rapidly and it is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the future. According to Luo Baihui, executive director of the International Modular Association, the Australian Mould Association, Adelaide Mould Association, and Melbourne Mould Association all place great hopes on the Chinese mold market and manufacturing companies, which will create favorable conditions for China to export molds to Australia.

At present, the mold manufacturing industry in Australia, especially the stamping mold manufacturing capacity can not keep up with the needs of economic development, for which urgent need to import stamping mold manufacturing technology and capabilities from abroad, and China's mold industry in this area happens to have a larger advantage, the market prospect is good. The specific analysis is as follows: China's stamping mold companies have higher levels of technology and equipment than Australia. At present, there are 56 CNC milling machines in China's top four automotive die-casting enterprises, of which 35 are large ones and 5 are high-speed ones (where the number of spindle rotations is 20,000 rpm/minute). It has 143 computer workstations, 200 sets of various software, and 8 sets of analysis software and reverse engineering software. There are 5 large-scale coordinate measuring machines, 30 debugging presses (1600 tons, 1400 tons, 1300 tons, 800 tons, 600 tons), 16 research and distribution presses, and cranes with 30 tons and 15 tons, which far exceed Australia. Equipment level.

China has complete die design and manufacturing technicians and programmers, skilled CNC machine operators, fitters and mold debuggers. China's labor wage level is lower than that of Australia. Currently, it has the ability to manufacture stamping dies for cars. The company's production capacity is more than 200 sets to 400 sets of large and medium-sized stamping dies. Moreover, the equipment load of enterprises is not high enough to fully manufacture molds for Australia.

The software used in Australian automotive mold design and manufacturing is mostly ug, pro-e, catia, and euclid. The software used by Chinese mold companies is basically the same, and can be shared. Both the cae analysis software and the simulation molding analysis software have similarities. This provided us with good conditions for the development of Sino-foreign cooperation.
