Based in Dalian University of Technology (DUT), the Engineering Research Center of Molding Products, Ministry of Education, is approved in 2001 and accepted in 2005. Facing the national economic construction and major needs, the Center is committed to the forming and manufacturing of polymers, composites, metals and other materials and the development of related technologies and products by strengthening core technology research, improving engineering and system integration capabilities, which provides technical support and engineering products for national strategic needs and economic construction needs. The main research and development (R&D) directions of the Center are:
(1) Polymer product molding technology
(2) Polymer micro-nano molding manufacturing technology
(3) Advanced composite structure design and forming technology
(4) Light alloy forming technology and equipment
(5) Functional surface and mold design and manufacturing technology
The Center, covering an area of 5400 square meters, currently has 52 permanent R&D staff members and 68 sets of main instruments and equipment with a total value of more than 37 million yuan.
The Center takes the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and engineering as its development direction. Through the integrated development of the industry-university-research mechanism, it has formed full-fledged engineering experiment and pilot test platforms in various R&D directions.
With the support of two phases of National Strategic Needs for Technical Transformation Project, it has built two small polymers product molding batch lines. After years of construction and development, the Center has formed a complete workflow from conducting applied basic research, original technology development, and technology transfer to transforming engineering products independently. Relying on the advantages of DUT disciplines and talent resources, it has established a sustainable R&D mechanism for the integration of industry, university, and research. It has become an engineering research center of the Ministry of Education with certain influence in the fields related to major national strategic needs, polymer microfluidic chips, light alloy forming, and mold design and manufacturing.
