What books should I read for the level of mold entry?

It is recommended that you read this book "Practical Manual of Modern Mold Manufacturing Technology" Content Introduction: the latest information, comprehensive content, complete system, strong practicability and operability Mold is a large number of manufacturing of various industrial products widely used tooling equipment, it has a wide variety, a variety of forms, a large design workload, and strong manufacturing technology. This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the design methods and manufacturing techniques of molds, with a complete range of molds, refined content arrangement, and great practicability and operability.

Mold design + product design + injection molding process analysis. If you want to go deeper, you can also study the book of materials, fluid mechanics + polymer rheology + material mechanics (this is all based on calculus + linear algebra + finite element theory) and learn a lot in any aspect.

There are almost no good books on the structure of injection molds. The few books that are worth reading are also written by foreigners. The structure of injection molds is relatively simple mechanical structure, and then it is also made into standard parts by several major mold parts manufacturers.

Only a few special structures are used in very few special cases. Learning the structure of injection molds from the catalog of several major mold parts manufacturers, the network ** mold diagram, the actual observation of the workshop assembly mold three aspects to do, intentions will be quickly mastered, to meet the actual work requirements. The key point of the mold structure is to grasp the positioning of the mold accessories, especially the positioning of the moving parts to ensure their movement trajectory.

As long as there is one, then I only recommend one "Mechanical Drawing", because drawings are the most basic communication language for mold design and manufacturing, and don't think about doing anything if you don't know how to read drawings.

There are a lot of basic enlightenment textbooks in the online mold forum, which is very good, there are too many theoretical things in the university mold course books, and the content is backward in social development for 5 or 10 years, so don't learn it.

If you are studying mold making, it is impossible to find the answer in the book. Only by going to the unit where the mold is made, finding a mold fitter master, and following the study for a few years, the whole process of mold making can be learned. Even if there are books that introduce mold making, they are all general, and the specific details can only be learned in the practice of making molds.

There are many aspects involved in learning molds, the basics of mechanical drawing This is the foundation of your drawing, this is the method, no matter what software you use, you have to use this, so this is the basis for you to draw and see the drawing This is important. Learn CAD software first, master at least one 2D 3D software, this is the most basic hard requirement of mold design, now the most popular 2D 3D software for mold design is AutoCAD and UG. Follow-up according to your own interests to choose to learn stamping dies or plastic molds, remember to focus on learning one subject, greedy for more than refined.

For books, you can look for Lin Qing'an's books. Software, such as UG, PRO E, Mastercam, SolidWord are all available. I used Lin Qing'an's at the beginning.

If you are young, you can go to a technical school to learn two years of mold theory first, and then go to the factory to practice and practice, and learn practical skills on the job. If you are older, you can go directly to the factory as an apprentice and learn slowly. I am a plastic mold fitter, in Kunshan fitter for 17 years, every industry has his hard work, but fitters can indeed increase people's hands-on ability, but also temper people's impatient character.

Working as a fitter, I don't regret it.

1. According to the training objectives of higher vocational colleges, AutoCAD Engineering Drawing comprehensively introduces the basic functions and usage methods of AutoCAD 2008, including AutoCAD 2008 drawing environment, object characteristics and display control, drawing and two-dimensional plane graphics, area and pattern filling, text, ** and dimensioning, blocks and attributes, drawing of parts drawings and assembly drawings, design center, three-dimensional solid modeling, three-dimensional graphics, output graphics, etc. AutoCAD Engineering Drawing was written by a number of experienced teachers. In the process of compiling, attention is paid to the combination of basic software knowledge and case operation, the content arrangement follows the teaching rules, the hierarchy is clear, the content is substantial, the practicality is strong, the knowledge system is new, the characteristics of practicality and case are highlighted, and the representative exercises are selected after each chapter, so that students can fully grasp the software functions at the same time, and can apply the software for engineering drawing more flexibly and quickly, so as to better serve the actual work.

2."Pro E 3D Modeling and Mold Design" Pro E software has powerful 3D modeling functions, especially suitable for complex surfaces. The three-dimensional modeling drawing of the guide wheel was designed by using the rotation features, scanning mixing features, array features, cutting extrusion features, cutting rotation features, and chamfering features in the part design module function of Pro E software, and the structural design of the impeller die-casting mold was completed.

In addition to these two, there are many drawing software, but these two are more typical, relatively speaking, these two functions are very powerful, so it is not particularly easy to learn, but it is necessary to be able to draw.

Drawing software is used.

If you want to make the mold design can be used, then you have to learn some relevant process knowledge, which should be based on the direction of the mold learned, such as cold stamping, injection molding, forging, etc., each mold direction has a corresponding process theory, which will make the drawing mold closer to reality, which is also very important.

It is also necessary to master some relevant knowledge, if you are engaged in injection molding, you must have an understanding of raw materials, if you are engaged in cold stamping, you must also be clear about the materials, although the mold may not be, but if you do not understand the material characteristics, there will be a great deviation in the design of some important sizes, because the materials are different, and the properties are not the same, such as elasticity, rigidity, hardness, etc., these characteristics directly determine the size of the product produced, if not considered, the size will be deviated, so part of the material knowledge also needs to be mastered, the worst should be understood, and it is best to understand a little mechanical knowledge, because the mold is placed on the equipment, so it is better to understand a little better。

What do you want to learn about mold design?Forging dies and plastic forming dies are different, and forging dies are also divided into stamping, forging, rolling, hot forging, cold forging, trimming, rolling, precision stamping and so on. The required knowledge is:

Mechanical drawing, tolerance and fit, plastic processing principle, theoretical mechanics and material mechanics, metal materials and heat treatment, etc. Graduation time is long, I can't remember clearly, if the basic knowledge is there, just buy this mold manual can be designed, the design and manufacture of the mold is required to be reprocessed, according to the drawings processed is likely not to meet the use requirements, need to be repeatedly renovated before use, the life of the mold and the amount of repair is an experience, simple discussion, I don't know whether the answer is satisfactory.

Without a foundation, it is basically impossible to complete the mold design.

It is recommended to see some design standards or specifications summarized by the actual combat of the factory, which will grow faster!

**You can also search for some practical information about the factory in this area!

I must have had the experience of making molds when I learned mold design!If you have one, familiarize yourself with the software first!Combined with the experience of molding, it takes a while to start from a simple structure to a complex one!

To learn to make molds, you must first go to a unit that makes molds, start from the grassroots level, and be familiar with the whole process of mold making, and it is best to be a dry mold fitter. Because the contact surface of other types of work is relatively narrow, I only understand my own process, and the whole process of the mold is not very clear. Not only to understand the whole process of mold making from practice, but also to understand the theoretical basis of mold design from theory.

It is very helpful for me to master the production of molds as soon as possible. It is best to have a good mold fitter master, which is very good for your learning progress. Software and theoretical knowledge complement each other, and software is very simple, you can learn software first.

Then combine practical design skills and learn theoretical knowledge.

Don't talk about the details, talk about the general direction, first of all, we have a good relationship with the master, understand the production process of the whole set of molds, including but not limited to design, drawing, process guidance, various processing technology, assembly mold trial, have the opportunity to contact customers must strive for, talk to customers more to expand ideas and contacts, self-study product design, and stay up for a few years before there is a bright future.

That's how I came here, and now I'm partnering with a friend to open a factory to make finished products.

There are still a lot of things to learn in this major, such as mechanical drawing, mold materials and heat treatment, mold design basics, interchangeability and measurement technology, plastic molding process and mold design, cold stamping process and mold design, AutoCAD, mold software (ug, Pro E) Zhongjing CNC lathe programming and processing training, wire cutting, EDM programming and operation training, etc.

If you go to the workshop, you are generally an apprentice, and what you learn in those schools is almost uselessIf you are going to engage in software, it still uses a certain effect, but those who learn are just bending the basics, and you still have to rely on yourself or learn from the master.

Whether it is a mold making fitter, a mold repairer, or a mold design, it takes a lot of practical experience, most of these experiences have to rely on their own work to summarize and analyze, you have not been in contact with the mold, even if others are telling you how you can not have a deep understanding.

If you want to learn the mold well, you must first position yourself which type of mold, such as plastic mold, stamping mold, die-casting mold, automobile covering mold, etc., and choose a factory with this type of mold according to the type of mold to be an ordinary employee, mold apprentice, understand the structure and principle of the mold, and then collect books and materials about this kind of mold (there are many in the online forum), study carefully, and learn from the teacher. Of course, you can also choose to learn according to the type of mold you can currently come into contact with.

My suggestion is to learn on the job, learn to do more and do more with half the effort, at the same time, you should choose computer software according to the type of mold you have learned, lay the foundation for future design work, plastic molds, die-casting molds, automotive covering molds are generally used ug, pro e, stamping dies are generally used CAD, but also to choose a three-dimensional software, ug, pro e, solidworks are OK. And don't think or believe that as long as you learn the software, you can do mold design (there are many training courses that advertise mold design, but in fact only training software, software is only a small part of mold design, when there was no computer software before, the mold teacher still made the mold through manual drawing).

Upstairs is right, you can't learn by self-study. You can come to our factory to learn.

As long as there is one, then I only recommend one "Mechanical Drawing", because drawings are the most basic communication language for mold design and manufacturing, and don't think about doing anything if you don't know how to read drawings.

If you want other books, there are "Fundamentals of Mechanical Design", "Mold Manufacturing Technology", "Mold Manufacturing Technology", "Fitter Technology", "Metal Cutting and Processing", "Plastic Molding Technology and Mold Design", "Stamping Process and Mold Design", "Material Processing and Forming Technology" and so on.

If you want further related books, there are also "Engineering Materials and Heat Treatment", "Tolerance Fit and Technical Measurement", "Engineering Mechanics", "Plastic Molding Machinery", "Mold CAD CAM" and so on.
