As per the latest trend, the investment is increased in 5+ axis machines for better accessibility in generating complex profiles with the latest CAD /CAM software technologies.
Die and Mould automated technologies gain momentum in the industry.
Yes. From the last couple of years, Die & Mould Manufacturers realised increased demand in the D & M segment and key to success would be the latest automated technologies. The investment is increased in 5+ axis machines for better accessibility in generating complex profiles with the latest CAD /CAM software technologies and reducing the set-up times in D&M.
Atmanirbhar readiness for local manufacturing
India has been practising in Die & Mould segments for many years and we have very good numbers of highly professional Die & Mould manufacturers available. Among institutes available across India, few of them are IGTR and TAGMA INDIA, who offer training courses to students as well as D&M manufacturers. I am pretty sure about the readiness of Indian industry to go to Atma Nirbhar for local manufacturing of die and mould.
Trends and challenges and barriers impacting development of the Die and Mould industry
At present some D&M manufacturers are offloading the roughing operation and doing finishing work in-house to address the high level of quality demand. If the profile is too complex, then the same is organised from abroad.We are still behind in accepting the Industry 4.0 standard on the 100 percent level.
Highly complex profiles machining is still out of reach due to not embracing latest global technological standards & highly skilled employees are another big issue. Influencing factors and latest trends Post Covid 19, the Demand for D&M is increasing in the market day by day. It is expected that the D & M segment will grow at a minimum of 20 percent in the next 2 years. As per the latest trend, the investment is increased in 5+ axis machines for better accessibility in generating complex profiles with latest CAD /CAM software technologies & reducing the set-up times in D&M. Tool maker is empowering skilled operators to join advanced training programs on complex profile machining. Metallurgical development is also happening in Die & Mould material to increase stroke life. This is further challenging the tools suppliers to develop high quality & productive cutting tools with superior tool life.
Innovative technologies happening and taking place in the component market
With increased demand in the Die & Mould segment as well as development in material technology, challenges are increased for the tools suppliers to develop High quality & productive Cutting Tools with superior tool life.
In Dormer Pramet, We have developed the latest technological High Feed Machining Solutions with SNGX11 and BNGX10 Milling Cutters catering from small dia to big one with new generation, material specific geometries and grades. In rotating Tools, Dormer Pramet has launched Barrel Cutters as well as Dynamic/ Trochoidal Milling End Mills to increase productivity. We also have developed the Hi – tech Endmills, series S561, which can machine material having hardness upto 70 Hrc especially for Die & Mould Segment.
