Both can be produced internally, and high-end gear molds mostly rely on imports. There are not many factories in China that specialize in producing gear molds, and most of them make gear molds themselves. In the application range of gear molds, the demand for plastic gear molds is relatively high, and the market potential is enormous.

Industry experts have proposed three major strategies for future development:

Firstly, accelerate the adjustment of industrial structure; In the future development, the gear mold industry should first pay more attention to the strategic adjustment of its product structure, so that high-end molds with complex structures and high precision can develop faster. At the same time, the mold industry should also closely follow the market demand for development. Without product demand and updates, there will be no technological progress in the mold industry, nor will there be any upscale or upscale mold products. The level of mold technology largely determines the quality, efficiency, and development capability of new products.

Secondly, accelerate the implementation of industry standards; At present, there is no national standard or ready-made industry standard for the processing of gear molds, especially in the field of plastic gear molds. Technical standards are a relatively open standard, but product standards are difficult to implement. It is necessary to consider multiple aspects such as experimental standards, accuracy standards, and testing device standards for gear molds.

Thirdly, strengthen the density of cooperation between industries; The development of modern industry is a collaborative relationship, which is equally important for the gear mold industry. This kind of cooperation is first and foremost a direct collaboration in industry research, such as several universities researching gear molds, concentrating the power of the gear industry and some university research institutions, and conducting integrated research and cooperation on process equipment, plastic internal deformation laws, and other aspects.

Meanwhile, from the perspective of the entire industry, the sound of gear molds is very low and in a spontaneous state, and the establishment of relevant professional associations is precisely to change this situation. This is to focus on exploring and solving the problems in the production of small module gears, thereby promoting the development of the domestic precision gear mold industry.
