Mould is the basic industrial equipment of machinery, automobile, electronics, communication, household appliances and other industrial products, and belongs to high-tech products. Mold designer is also included in the new posts released by the Labor Department. Actually, mold designer has been in China for at least 20 years. Only because of the rapid development of mold industry in China and the increasing demand for mold talents, mold designer was listed as a new profession.
Responsibilities: Design the initial model of the product.
Although the cost allocated to each product is not high, the price of a mold is often high. The average mold costs three or four thousand yuan, and the expensive one costs several million yuan. According to Liu Ke, for example, Master Kong's mold for a mineral water bottle costs 3-4 million yuan.
Mold design is a very complicated work, and the most basic requirement is that each set of molds must be properly matched.
Threshold: College degree or above familiar with computer.
According to Liu Ke, a mold designer who has worked for many years, mold designer's entry threshold is not high, and generally requires college education or above. Generally, mechanical students are engaged in this profession. They must have the ability of mechanical drawing, be proficient in using computers and master drawing software, among which at least one two-dimensional software and one three-dimensional software are familiar.
Familiarity with computers is the basic requirement of modern enterprises for mold designer. Mold workers do not make molds by hand as before, but are more reflected in mold design and operation. The quality and accuracy of molds are generally guaranteed by advanced machine tools; Driven by computer and Internet information technology, modern manufacturing technology and modern manufacturing industry represented by digital paperless production based on CAD/CAM, virtual product development and collaborative design and manufacturing in different places are developing rapidly. In technologically advanced countries, mold manufacturing has been "paperless", and product processing is to input data into computers to develop molds.
Treatment: the salary is high in the south and low in the north.
According to Liu Ke, the basic monthly salary of mold designer in Tianjin market is 2,000 yuan, with a maximum of 4,000 yuan, and recent graduates are often around 1200 yuan.
Judging from the national market, there is a talent gap in mold designer at present. Because it is difficult for many enterprises to recruit middle and senior technicians with excellent skills, the salary of these talents has an upward trend. For example, the average monthly salary of professional mold designer is 3,000 yuan, the monthly salary of CNC machining talents is 3,500 yuan, and the monthly salary of senior workers who are familiar with the whole operation process of design, processing and modeling is more than 5,000 yuan. It's nothing new to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month with better skills.
Due to the concentration of manufacturing in some cities in the south, wages in mold designer are higher in the south and lower in the north. For example, there is a shortage of senior mold talents in Dongguan, and the annual salary of a professionally trained mold design and mold manufacturing technician often exceeds 6,543,800 yuan.
Features: The more experience, the more "valuable"
Mold designer's job is to design the product model after the customer takes out the design drawings of the product. Liu Ke said that as a designer, experience is the first important thing, and the more experienced designers are, the more valuable they are.
General enterprises do not need fresh graduates, but prefer people with 2-3 years of work experience. Therefore, it may be difficult for fresh graduates to find jobs and need to go to enterprises for retraining. Even if the fresh graduates enter the enterprise, they can't do the design immediately. If it is designed, but others can't process it, then all the labor is equal to zero. Therefore, all designers need to practice in the workshop, start from the most basic work and accumulate experience. After being a designer, you have to follow a mold product all the way. Before the mold comes out, the designer needs to go to the workshop to see the assembly in person. Only after the customer's acceptance is successful can the work be completed.
However, in the mold design industry, the older the designer, the more popular he is. It is understood that some older designers are not competitive because they can't use computers. According to the investigation of the labor department, the demand for mold talents in enterprises is increasing, and the existing mold design talents are far from meeting the needs of the current manufacturing industry. In Beijing, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places, mold designer, mold developers, mold maintenance personnel and so on. Have become the scarcest talents in the talent market. Although many enterprises advertise "high salary recruitment" and "urgent recruitment with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan", they may not be able to recruit suitable talents.
In Beijing, the average mold designer earns about 4,000 yuan a month, while the number of senior mold designer is very small, with a monthly salary of about 8,000 yuan. In Dongguan, Guangdong and other places, the annual salary of a professionally trained and experienced mold design and mold manufacturing technician often exceeds 6,543,800 yuan. With the increasing application of CAD/CAE/CAM for plastic molds, enterprises have the greatest demand for compound talents who can use drawing software such as AUTOCAD and PRO/E and have certain working experience, and these talents are just the least number of young talents in the mold industry.
There are more than 6 million employees in the mold industry in China, of which110 is engaged in mold design, which means that mold designer can reach more than 600,000. China's total output value of molds has jumped to the third place in the world, second only to Japan and the United States. Driven by the strong market demand, China is becoming a big mold country in the world. After China's entry into WTO, with the gradual transfer of the world manufacturing center to China, the domestic mold industry can only achieve a greater leap forward by accelerating the transformation of enterprise management, improving product quality and service level, and strengthening cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain. Therefore, the implementation of digital design, manufacturing and collaborative management of molds has become the necessity for China mold enterprises to improve their competitiveness.
At the same time, it is urgent to train senior talents. There is still a big gap in senior mold design talents in China, and it is also very urgent to standardize the selection and training of mold design talents.
The students trained in China's secondary technical schools are mainly operators, and they do not fully have the ability of mold design. Although some colleges and universities have set up mold specialty in recent years, due to the limitation of software and hardware facilities, the theoretical level of the students trained is ok, but the practical skills are not enough to meet the needs of mold enterprises.
It is understood that there are also various mold training courses in society, but due to the lack of standardized professional standards, it is impossible to evaluate the students' ability in a unified way. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to formulate a new mold designer assessment standard and cultivate new mold skill talents. Mold manufacturing is also one of the few industries with competitive advantages after China's entry into WTO. At present, the world is undergoing a new round of industrial adjustment, and some mold manufacturing is gradually transferred to developing countries. China has become one of the first choices for global enterprise giants to seek low-cost mold processing centers and R&D centers, and is becoming a world mold power. According to joy chen, the total output value of molds in China has jumped to the third place in the world, only next to Japan and the United States. In 2003, the output value of molds in China was more than 45 billion yuan. From 1996 to 2002, the output value of mold manufacturing industry in China increased by about 14% annually, and increased by about 25% in 2003, and increased by more than 25% in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other mold developed areas.
Among them, the automobile, motorcycle and household appliances industries are the largest market for molds, accounting for more than 80% of the entire mold market. Taking the automobile industry as an example, a model car needs about 4,000 sets of molds, worth 200-300 million yuan; A single refrigerator needs about 150 parts, and a total of about 350 sets of molds are needed, worth about 4 million yuan. "Due to the strong market demand, the mold industry in China has developed rapidly and has a broad market. Therefore, standardizing the mold design industry is of great social and economic significance to the talent selection and training of this industry.
