Employment direction: Graduates can engage in mold design, product development, CNC programming, project management, CNC machine operation, and other work in mechanical industry enterprises such as mechanical manufacturing, mold manufacturing, and electromechanical product development. Career prospects: Mold technology integrates design, manufacturing, product modeling, and software applications, as well as the application of advanced manufacturing technologies. It is not difficult to see that graduates majoring in mold design have a wide range of employment opportunities and promising prospects.

What is the main learning content of mold design?

Through the study of this course, I will master the basic concepts of plastics, the forming and processing properties of thermoplastic, the basic principles of thermoplastic product design, the basic structure and classification of injection molds, the design of injection mold parts, the design of pouring systems, and other knowledge. I will also be able to complete the design tasks and maintenance of plastic molds.

Through the study of this course, students can master the structural technology and design of stamping parts, stamping mold design, stamping process design, stamping process design, precision stamping, bending, stretching and other forming process design, automotive panels, stamping process design, stamping die classification, characteristics and applications. Familiar with single process mold design, composite mold design, continuous mold design, fine mold design, cover mold design, hard alloy mold design, main mold standardization, mold terminology and technical conditions, mold standard parts, relevant national and international standards, etc.

Main content: Overall structure of CAD/CAM, hardware system, software system; Mechanical product design CAD, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and group technology (GT); Computer aided process planning (CAPP) technology; Key technologies such as mold design CAD.

Main content: Stamping process and classification of stamping molds, introduction of stamping equipment; Punching die design, bending die design, stretching die design, forming die design; Basic knowledge of plastic and plastic component design; Key points of injection mold, injection mold, and injection mold design; Mold processing and electrical discharge machining; Mold assembly and adjustment.

From the perspective of the national market, there is a talent gap for mold designers. Due to many companies having difficulty recruiting skilled mid to senior level employees, their salaries often increase. Professional mold design talents generally earn a monthly salary of 4000 yuan, CNC machining talents earn a monthly salary of 4500 yuan, and senior workers familiar with the entire operation process of design and processing earn a monthly salary of 6000 yuan. Among them, talents with better skills earn a monthly salary of 10000 yuan, which is not new.
