Additive Manufacturing: 3D printing and other forms of reverse engineering are increasingly being used to create molds, especially for small-scale and low-volume productions. This reduces the lead time and costs associated with traditional mold-making methods.
Automation: Automation is playing an increasingly important role in injection mold manufacturing, with the use of robots and other automated systems becoming more common. This not only increases productivity and efficiency but also improves mold quality and consistency.
Materials: The use of new materials, such as biodegradable plastics and advanced composites, is expected to become more widespread in the future. thus improving the environmental footprint of the industry.
Predictive Maintenance: Predictive analysis is becoming increasingly popular in mold manufacturing. This technique helps identify potential problems before they occur, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.
Digitization: The use of digital technologies, such as 3D modeling, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, is becoming increasingly common in injection mold manufacturing. This allows for faster and more accurate design in mold making.
