Mould is an important basic process equipment for manufacturing, mould industry is known as the "mother of industry". 11-14 June, by the China Mould Industry Association and the Shanghai International Trade Promotion Committee, Shanghai International Exhibition (Group) Co. Equipment Exhibition (DMC2023) was held in the National Convention and Exhibition Centre (Shanghai - Hongqiao).

As the most authoritative exhibition in the mould industry, this year's DMC, with the theme of "Focusing on High-end Manufacturing and Supporting the Optimisation and Upgrading of the Industrial Chain", took the advantage of co-location of the upstream and downstream industrial chain, and integrated brand display, efficient procurement and technical exchange to create a "Precision Processing", "Mould and Die" and "Mould Technology and Equipment" exhibition. 

China as the first largest mould manufacturing country, the output value accounts for one-third of the world's moulds, is the world's largest market for moulds. 2022 China's mould output value of 330 billion yuan, the industry is developing steadily. The total amount of imported moulds is only 1.1 billion US dollars, showing the continuous supply capacity of internal circulation; the total amount of exported moulds is 7.7 billion US dollars, with a surplus of 6.6 billion US dollars; the exporting countries and regions have exceeded 200 for many years, showing strong competitiveness, and the international and domestic double-circle mutual promotion situation is more clear, Chinese moulds support Made in China, and the status of the protagonist of the international mould arena has been more consolidated.

DMC is the main battlefield for the world famous equipment brand enterprises to show their technology and compete for the market, and it is also the best place for the emerging domestic machine tools to make their presence known. In this year's exhibition, 3H Hall Precision Equipment Pavilion has many high-end machine tool brand enterprises from home and abroad, focusing on the display of today's advanced manufacturing level of precision machining, mould and die enterprises to bring the latest manufacturing equipment and processing solutions. GF Processing Solutions, FANAKO, Mazak, Mitsubishi Electric, Makino and other head of the industry will be the scene to display all kinds of high-precision, intelligent, automated equipment, help the mould industry to improve quality and efficiency. 4 Mould industry to improve quality and efficiency. 4.1H Hall Mould Pavilion will be divided into China's mould enterprise regional exhibitors, more than 30 provinces and cities die association group exhibitors, about 400 mould manufacturing enterprises gathered together to fully demonstrate China's mould industry, perfect supporting system, strong technical development capabilities and strong development power, leading the development trend of China's mould manufacturing in the future.

Specific exhibits, Mitsubishi Electric with the latest models of heavy debut, for the audience to bring automotive, electronic semiconductor, machine tools, new energy and other areas of cost reduction and efficiency solutions. In the GF processing solutions booth, the audience can experience the excellent performance of high-efficiency five-axis machining centre; Makino new generation of high-precision vertical machining centre e500, as another masterpiece in the field of precision machining, its "e" design concept in the assurance of precision at the same time, can take into account the efficiency of the enhancement, and at the same time, you can save the use of electric energy. Its "e" design concept can guarantee precision while improving efficiency, and at the same time, it can save the use of electric energy and help "Carbon Peak" and "Carbon Neutral"; Beijing Jingdiao demonstrated the scale and high efficiency machining capability of micron-level parts on the scene.

The rapid development of new energy vehicles brings new opportunities for the mould industry. It is understood that this year's exhibition will have a large number of automotive lightweight, customised moulds such as new energy vehicles motor, electronic control and battery shell aluminium alloy die-casting moulds and many body lightweight solutions. And in the intelligent mould and interconnection mould rapid development background, FAW mould brought a new generation of black light factory - small flexible line, in automation, network, digital based on the integration of industrial robotics and big data intelligent analysis technology to form the depth of human-machine-thing integration.

In addition, "Shanghai International Low Carbon Smart Travel Exhibition" and "Shanghai International Carbon Neutral Technology, Products and Achievements Expo" will be held at the same time and place with DMC, creating a 150,000-square-metre upstream and downstream industry chain interconnection and sharing platform, and actively promoting China's smart travel, low-carbon economy industry chain upstream and downstream. It will actively promote China's smart travelling and low carbon economy industry chain upstream and downstream enterprises to link up and extend the theme of DMC2023, showing the unique role of complementary promotion and integrated development.

During DMC2023, a wealth of forums and concurrent activities will also be held. On the opening day, "China Electronic Connector Precision Mould (Yueqing) Manufacturing Base" brand conference was held. Connector is an indispensable precision moulding product for digital signal transmission between components of electronic products. Yueqing as "China's electrical capital", China's electronic components industry base, the city formed a low-voltage electrical appliances, electronic components, new energy products as the leading industry chain development pattern, especially as one of the pillar industries of the electronic connector is renowned, the national share of more than 35%.

"China electronic connector precision mould (yueqing) manufacturing base" brand release, to further enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of yueqing industrial enterprises, in the mould industry to expand the influence plays a positive role. In the future, Yueqing will focus on the integration of upstream and downstream industry chain development of electronic connectors, and constantly explore the innovative development path of connector precision moulds, to form a new advantage of the cluster, the development of a new model for the "Manufacturing Power" to contribute to the electronic connector precision moulds to support the power.
