MYTHS : METAL MANUFACTURING 8 TRUE MYTHS ABOUT METAL MANUFACTURING
Introduction Metal Manufacturing is referred to applying machining and tooling skills on a raw metal sheet to transform it into a new designed and structured metal product. Metal Manufacturing is a big source of employment and import & export of metal products. Metal manufacturing and mold making is vast in China and other countries. There are a number of mold making companies in China. This report consists of some very true facts about Metal Manufacturing.
STEPS FOLLOWED IN METAL MANUFACTURING
Metal manufacturing is a vast process. It includes several steps and processes which result in final metal product developement. Some important steps followed in metal manufacturing process are: 1.Feasibility Study : This include the study of availability of the resources, needed in the process of metal manufacturing.
eg : To make a plastic injection mold as a product, a mold making company should
study the availability of the resources for injection mold making as ‘ plastic mold manufacturer ’ and many more.
2. Requirement analysis : This includes the actual requirement of the final product to fulfill. What should a product result after production is the main requirement to be considered. 3. Designing : This step includes the designing part of the product on computers and designing softwares as CAD and AUTO-CAD, and many more.
4. Manufacturing : The designed part is now operated for manufacturing by machining
and tooling processes.
eg : After designing some die casting parts they need to be operated by some die
casting processes as cnc machining services , prototyping manufacturing and many more. After these processes operated by some skilled die casting manufacturers
5. Product Delivery : All the products like as ‘ die casting parts ’ , ‘ injection molding parts ’,
‘ precision machining parts ’ , ‘ cnc machining parts ’ and many more are delivered to the customers as per the time period.

8 MYTHS ABOUT METAL MANUFACTURING IN CHINA 1. Chinese exports to the U.S., which jumped 40% in January from a year earlier,
have further depressed prices already hurt by an oil-drilling slowdown and the resulting slump in demand for steel pipes and tube. Demands were also on injection molding parts and die casting parts by mold making companies in China
2. Both the U.S. and the EU already have tariffs in place on a handful of Chinese injection mold manufacturing products , but mold making companies call them insufficient.
3. In December, Korea’s Hyundai plastic mold manufacturer and Dongkuk plastic mold manufacturer , filed a proposal for an anti-dumping duty of 18% to 33% on injection molding parts .
4. In India, where imports of some lower-priced Chinese injection molding parts have surged by close to 200% year-on-year between April 2014 and January 2015, some injection mold manufacturing companies are seeking trade

measures including higher duties.
5. 6. China’s ​ plastic mold manufacturers​ benefit from relatively low-cost labor and inputs such as injection molding parts.

7. Analysts pointed to the Chinese currency. “The weakening renminbi was also a factor in encouraging exports,” said Ben Huang, Director Artetooling China 8. In 2012, China’s trade surplus stood at 231 billion U.S. dollars and its exports totaled 2.05 trillion U.S. dollars, up nearly 8 percent from the previous year. China overtook Germany as the largest exporting nation in 2009. 9. The United States ranked second with exports amounted to 1.48 trillion U.S. dollars, while Germany came in third with 1.47 trillion U.S. dollars as of 2011. In the same year, China’s export of injection molding parts and rapid prototyping services constituted 26 % of GDP.
