In a broad sense, "Automotive Mold" is the general term for molds used to manufacture all parts of automobiles. For example, Plastic Injection Mold, stamping mold, forging mold, casting wax mold, glass mold, etc. When people talk about cars, the body of the car first appears in front of them. In other words, the body is the identifying assembly of the car. The body represents the image characteristics of that car. In a narrow sense, Automotive Mold is the general term for the molds used to punch all stamping parts on the car body, which is also the "automobile body stamping die".

Automotive Injection Mold can be divided into the following categories according to the different molding methods of plastic parts:
1. Injection Mold
Injection mold is also called injection mold. The molding process feature of this mold is that the plastic raw material is placed in the heating barrel of the injection machine. The plastic is melted by heat, driven by the screw or plunger of the injection machine, enters the mold cavity through the nozzle and the pouring system of the mold, and the plastic is formed by heat preservation, pressure holding, and cooling in the mold cavity.
2. Compression mold
Compression molds are also called compression molds or compression molds. The molding process of this mold is characterized by adding plastic raw materials directly into the open mold cavity and then closing the mold. After the plastic is in a molten state under the action of heat and pressure, the cavity is filled with a certain pressure. Compression molds are mostly used for thermosetting plastics, and their molded plastic parts are mostly used for the shells of electrical switches and daily necessities.

There are many ways to classify Automotive Injection Mold, mainly to judge the stability and heat resistance of the mold required for different occasions.
