一般来说,“mold”指把原料倒进去、然后凝固变为成品的模具,比如injection mold指注塑模具。

例句:

The plastic was poured into themoldand left to set until it was firm.

塑料被注入模子后,便放在一边让它慢慢凝结硬化。

Themoldis opened and the part is ejected by some mechanism.

打开模具,并用某些机构装置将制件推出。

“die”指通过撞击/冲压把原料变为成品的模具。按工序性质,冲压模具可分为落料模(blanking die)、冲孔模(pierce die)、拉延模(drawing die)、修边模(trim die)、成型模(forming die)、折弯模(bending die)等。

例句:

The female die was designed movable but the male die was fixed.

该模具将凹模设计成活动式,凸模固定。

We use advanced technology and progressive die to process the valve oil seals.

气门油封骨架全部采用先进工艺和级进模具进行生产。

而“tooling”一词侧重于指模具的总称,也可译为“工装”,既可指注塑模具,也可以指五金模具。“tooling”分为hard tooling(硬模、量产模)和soft tooling(软模、试验模)。

例句:

What is thetoolingcostiftheirorderis lowerthantheminimum?

如果小于 小定单量,应该付多少模具费?

Tooling Engineer will specify additional requirements, such as containers or conveyors.
