Do you know the difference between soft mold and hard mold in silicone prototype? Next, the Xiehe prototype processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

The so-called soft mold refers to soft mold. It is named for its soft materials (such as silicone rubber, epoxy resin, etc.) which are different from traditional steel materials. These soft molds can be used as injection molds for trial production and small batch production, intermediate transition molds for hard molds and low melting point alloy casting molds, etc. Silicone hand mold has good elasticity, reproducibility and certain strength. When casting and forming complex molds, it can greatly simplify the structural design of the mold and facilitate demoulding.

Silicone prototype process is to use the rapid prototyping pouring system as the core mold, suspend it in the mold box, inject fluid silica gel, degas and cure in vacuum, separate along the preset parting surface, and the mold manufacturing is completed. Silicone molds can be used to make plastic parts and low-melting point alloy parts, and the life span is only dozens to hundreds of times.

Silicone prototype hard mold is hard mold, which is our commonly used mold. Except for the big difference in the life of the mold, there is generally no difference in the opponent board. Due to its low manufacturing cost and short production cycle, it is especially suitable for the production of single-piece and small-batch prototypes such as product function testing and market trial operation in the new product development process, especially suitable for modern products with small batches, many varieties, and fast modification. manufacturing mode.

The above content is the difference between the soft mold and the hard mold in the silicone prototype. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about the hand lamp prototype, please call the Xiehe hand semi-processing manufacturer, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
