C. Stamping die-computer panel
D. Die casting mold-super alloy, cylinder block
(2) Plastic molds are divided according to different production processes and products:

B. Blowing mold-beverage bottle
C. Compression molding die-Bakelite switch, scientific porcelain dishes
D. Transfer molding die-integrated circuit products
E. Extrusion mold-glue tube, plastic bag
