Since the beginning of the 1990s, high-tech has comprehensively promoted the transformation of traditional forming technology and the formation and development of advanced forming technology. Stamping technology in the 21st century will continue to develop at a faster speed, and the development direction will more prominently emphasize the needs of "precision, saving, and clean", and adapt to the short delivery time, high precision, good quality and low price .
(1) Stamping technology will be more scientific, digital and controllable. Signification is mainly reflected in the prediction and controllability of the forming process, product quality, cost, and benefit. The numerical simulation technology of the forming process will make great progress in practicality, and it will be well integrated with the digital manufacturing system. Artificial intelligence technology and intelligent control will develop from the forming of simple-shaped parts to the forming of complex-shaped parts such as covering parts, thus truly entering the practical stage. In other words, the trend is mainly toward informatization, high-speed production and high-precision development. Therefore, in terms of design technology, the focus of development is to vigorously promote the application of CAD/CAE/CAM technology and continue to improve efficiency, especially the computer simulation analysis technology of the sheet forming process. Mold CAD and CAE technology should be developed in the direction of humanization, integration, intelligence and networking, and the degree of specialization of mold CAD and CAM systems should be improved.
(2) Pay attention to the whole process of product manufacturing, and achieve multi-objective global comprehensive optimization to the greatest extent. Optimization will develop from the traditional single forming link to the whole process of product manufacturing and the whole life cycle of the system.
(3) The ability to quickly analyze and evaluate product manufacturability and forming processes will have a great development. In order to quickly analyze and evaluate the formability of the part and the degree of assurance of the required performance from the initial design or even the conception of the product.
(4) Stamping technology will have greater flexibility or flexibility to adapt to the future small-finger multi-variety mixed production mode and the development trend of market diversification and individual demand, and strengthen the company's ability to respond quickly to market changes.
(5) Pay attention to the development of composite forming technology. The advanced forming technology based on the composite process is not only developing from the manufacturing of blanks to the direct manufacturing of parts, but also from the manufacturing of individual parts to the direct manufacturing of the whole structure.
