Do you know the advantages of prototype model compared with open model? Next, the editor of the cnc processing factory will briefly analyze it for everyone.

In the past, when people needed to develop a new product, they would open the mold directly, regardless of whether the design of the drawing was reasonable or not. Due to the lack of testing before the mold was opened, when the product was found to be defective, it had already caused irreparable losses. . But the prototype model is different. It is one or several functional samples that are first made according to the product appearance drawing or structural drawing without opening the mold, and are used to check the rationality of the appearance or structure. Compared with the mold, it has the following characteristics:

1. The cost is relatively low, because the prototype is mainly used for testing, so its quantity is usually not too much, and due to the continuous maturity of CNC processing, 3D printing and other technologies, the cost of making the prototype is the same as before has dropped significantly. The cost of making molds is generally tens of thousands or more, while the molds for large medical devices cost millions. In addition, some structural prototypes can be directly sold as commodities in the market. The aesthetics of the prototypes are no less than those made by mold opening, and the cost is less than one-tenth of that of mold opening.

2. It takes less time. Generally speaking, it takes a very long time to open the mold, ranging from half a month to a month or even longer. The cycle of making prototype models is very short, usually a few days. If it is made by 3D printing, the speed is faster, usually one day.

3. Prototype models can be displayed as samples at exhibitions before the product is developed, publicize new products in advance, and even obtain orders directly at exhibitions, but mold opening does not have such advantages. The rapid prototype is better than the open mold in that it costs less and takes less time.

The above content is the advantage of the prototype model compared with the open model, I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about the hand model, or customers who want to customize the rapid prototype, please call the cnc processing factory for consultation.
