In
the development of increasingly complex technology of plastic molding it needed a more precise manner, based software development is necessary in order to optimize results.
Mould design by
CAD/CAM and CNC machine tooling have
become indispensable to mould
production, and the trend is accelerating .
We are shifting from the traditional art engineering to focus on technology, from the days when skilled craftsmen were the heart of production process to a system built around data captured in the CAD/CAM data base.
CNC machining of the moulds themselves is ever faster and more accurate, mould production is becoming a matter of having the right equipment.
Nevertheless, management must exercise extreme caution when introducing each new version of CAD/CAM and CNC equipment.
The new equipment must always be minimized and utilization of existing equipment maximized.
This is only practical approach.

CAD/CAM system involve both software and hardware, but
improvements in software invariably lead to the need for faster, more powerful
hardware to increase the speed and intelligence of the overall operation. Thus,
we can easily foresee a growing trend
toward systems that generate most of the information required for mould
production at the CAD/CAM level.
This sort information base production system requires the
standardization of mould design and machining. Mould machining, for example,
requires careful definitions, then the creation of data base containing the
most appropriate machining methods, tooling, and condition for any given mould
from and contour. Given the trend towards faster delivery times, the entire
production system must be based on an integrated information network.
To shorten lead times and detect problems quickly, to accomplish the shift in mould production from serialism to parallelism , the power of upstream processes to direct the entire operation must be strengthened.
The introduction of concurrent engineering into mould production will undoubtedly make production even faster while improving quality.

Hopefully the literature of the above considerations can be made and can make progress for the business world, thanks.
