This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the critical technologies and future development trajectories of high-pressure die casting (HPDC) mold R&D within the automotive and electronics sectors. Driven by the dual demands of vehicle lightweighting-specifically the emergence of "Giga-casting"-and the miniature integration of 5G consumer electronics, the research explores advanced mold design strategies, including conformal cooling via additive manufacturing and high-fidelity CAE simulations. The study highlights the shift from traditional empirical methods to data-driven paradigms, emphasizing the role of heat-treatment-free alloys and high-vacuum casting in ensuring structural integrity. Furthermore, it examines the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as digital twins and AI-driven process optimization, as essential tools for balancing mold longevity, cycle efficiency, and dimensional precision. The conclusion asserts that the convergence of material science and digitalization will be the primary catalyst for sustainable "green casting" and the continued evolution of high-precision manufacturing global supply chains.References
