In computer, cad should know at least one of proe and UG. In addition to basic modeling, they should also know how to split molds and draw engineering drawings. As for other knowledge, you have to go into the factory to gain something. Mold industry depends on experience. Because there are many kinds of molds, the processing technology and production flow of each factory are different. To tell the truth, the knowledge and practice of mold in school is completely derailed.

CAD software

CAD software is a necessary two-dimensional drawing, and you can choose PROE or UG. PROE is the design software of injection mold and UG is the design software of cold stamping mold.

Mechanical processing

Also learn the basic knowledge of CNC lathes and milling machines.

Knowledge of metal materials

For senior mold engineers, solid knowledge of metal and nonmetal materials and machining knowledge is necessary.

market demand

Mold design is a good major, and the market demand is relatively large.

Learning content

In addition to the basic contents of mechanical specialty (such as mechanical drawing, metal materials, mechanical principles, cutting principles, mechanical parts, machining equipment, etc.). ), the learning content of undergraduate mold major includes mold forming principle, mold structure, special processing and so on. However, professional courses lack many theoretical courses on machinery, and focus more on application.
