Application and innovation of die casting machine in education and research

Die casting machine, as a kind of precision metal manufacturing equipment, is usually widely used in the manufacturing industry for the production of various complex shapes and high-precision metal parts. However, with the development of science and technology and the innovation of educational concepts, die casting machines have begun to enter the field of education and research and become an important teaching and research tool. We explore the diverse roles of the die casting machine in education and research, and how it contributes to academic and technological progress.

In the field of education, the introduction of die casting machines provides students with hands-on learning opportunities. By operating a die casting machine, students gain an intuitive understanding of multiple fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing processes. This practical experience is essential for cultivating students’ hands-on ability, innovation ability and the ability to solve practical problems. For example, students in the School of Engineering can operate die casting machines from design to manufacture of real parts, which not only enhances students’ understanding of theoretical knowledge, but also stimulates their interest in engineering practice.

On the research side, die casting machines provide an experimental platform that researchers can use to explore new materials, new processes or improve existing technologies. For example, researchers can use die casting machines to test the die-casting properties of different materials to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly metal materials. At the same time, through the precise control of the die casting process, researchers can deeply study the factors that affect the quality of the casting, such as injection speed, temperature, pressure, etc., so as to optimize the die casting process and improve the quality of the casting.

Die casting machines also play an important role in interdisciplinary research. It is not only applied to the traditional fields of engineering and materials science, but can also be combined with fields such as computer science, automation and artificial intelligence. For example, by integrating advanced sensors and control systems, researchers can develop intelligent die casting machines to automate and intelligentize production processes. In addition, the data collection and analysis function of the die-casting machine can also provide rich experimental data for big data and machine learning research.

It is worth mentioning that the role of die casting machines in education is not limited to technical learning. It is also a tool for industrial design and artistic creation. Students at the School of Design can use die casting machines to realize their creative designs into concrete metal artworks, a practice that not only enhances students’ design abilities, but also broadens their horizons, enabling them to combine art and engineering.

The application of die casting machines in the field of education and research is still in continuous development. With the continuous advancement of technology and the growing demand for education, die casting machines are expected to play a greater role in these fields in the future. It can not only provide a practical and innovative platform for students and researchers, but also promote the cooperation between academia and industry to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

To sum up, die casting machines play multiple roles in the field of education and research, not only as a manufacturing tool, but also as a tool for learning and innovation. By incorporating die casting machines into education and research, we can provide students and researchers with valuable hands-on experience, foster interdisciplinary research collaboration, stimulate innovative thinking, and ultimately push science and technology forward.
