What factors need to be considered when making prototype

With the promotion of the prototype model, more and more industries have begun to apply the prototype model, and different types of prototype products can be selected according to different requirements such as parts data, mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, service life, and production cost. Next, Shenzhen Xiehe Prototype Processing Factory will tell you about the factors that need to be considered in making Shenzhen Prototype models. Let's take a look at it together.

1. Principles of Prototype Model Manufacturing

Prototype manufacturing should not only focus on product planning and ignore prototype manufacturing. When developing products or trial production of new products, some users often only focus on product research and development in the initial stage, ignoring communication with prototype manufacturing units.

2. Consider the type of prototype model

(1). Cars, motorcycles, toy cars, and other means of transportation and prototypes of various parts and components;

(2). Prototypes of communication products such as telephones, fax machines, mobile phones, walkie-talkies, and doorbells;

(3). TVs, monitors, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, humidifiers, and other household appliances prototypes;

(4). Manufacturing of various aluminum alloy metal prototypes, batches of aluminum alloys and plastic injection molding products;

(5). Prototypes of various machine parts, B ultrasound machines, electronic instruments, and medical equipment;

(6). All kinds of gypsum, sludge, wax carving, mechanical action tooth box, SLA rapid prototyping.

3. Consider the data for the selection of the prototype model

(1). For conventional product prototypes, ABS materials are generally used. This material is easy to process in the manufacture of prototypes, and the post-processing of prototypes is also relatively beautiful;

(2). High temperature resistant product prototype, material epoxy resin, bakelite, black PC, PA (nylon) can be selected. Except for the black PC, which can be bonded to the four materials, the other three cannot be bonded and need to be fully processed;

(3). For the prototype of wear-resistant products, POM or PA can be selected. These two material manufacturing prototypes cannot be bonded and need to be fully processed;

(4). High toughness product prototype, can choose PA or PP. These two material manufacturing prototypes cannot be bonded and need to be fully processed;

(5). For the transparent product prototype, PMMA (acrylic), transparent ABS, transparent PC and other materials can be selected. The hand board made of these materials is polished and has high transparency, achieving the same effect as the real product;

(6). The surface treatment of the hand model is generally divided into surface effects such as oil injection, electroplating, frosting, silk screen printing, and pad printing. Prototype oil injection is divided into glossy, matte, sand, transparent, translucent, fluorescent, rubber oil and other effects.

4. The processing technology of the rapid prototype model

(1). Generally, the prototypes with high precision requirements are processed by CNC machine tools with high precision, and the materials, forming and process requirements of the prototypes will have strict requirements.

(2). It is necessary to use CAD/CAE/CAM prototyping skills for planning and analysis. In the process, some parts will have some special requirements due to prototyping, which will require the prototyping to use hot runners, gas-assisted molding, nitrogen Cylinder and other advanced technology to process and manufacture.

There are so many things to pay attention to when making Shenzhen prototype models, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
