What is the difference between the prototype model and the mold? do you know? Next, the Xiehe prototype processing factory will give you a brief introduction.

Molds, various molds and tools required for industrial production of products. In layman's terms, it is a tool used to make shaped objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and under the action of external force, the blank becomes a tool with a specific shape and size. Different molds consist of different parts. It mainly realizes the processing of the shape of the article through the change of the physical state of the formed material. Any product is manufactured with a mold, which is widely used in the forming and processing of products in various industries.

For example, our common household appliances such as televisions, mobile phones, telephone casings and other communication equipment are produced by injecting plastic heating software into molds for cooling and molding. Electric rice cookers are also pressed into such shapes by metal flat plates with molds. . The mold has a specific contour or inner cavity shape. The mold is a tool with complex shape and bears the expansion force of the billet. It has high requirements for structural strength, stiffness, surface hardness, surface roughness and machining accuracy. The development level of mold production is One of the important signs of mechanical manufacturing level.

The cost of manufacturing physical molds is generally very high. A set of large molds costs hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. Especially in industries, molds of millions are very common. If there is an unreasonable structure or other problems during the process of installing the mold, the loss will be great. Therefore, the appearance, structure and function are generally confirmed with the prototype first, and after confirming that there is no problem, the mold is opened for mass production. Prototypes can also be called samples, prototypes, and prototypes. In some places, they are also called "first boards", that is, the prototypes of products. Prototyping is the first step to verify the feasibility of the product. It is a direct and effective way to find out the defects, deficiencies, and disadvantages of the designed product, so as to make targeted improvements to the defects. Trial production of small batches to find out the deficiencies in the batch and improve them.

Usually a product that has just been developed or designed needs to be prototyped. The designed product is generally not beautiful, or even unusable. If there is a defect in direct production, it will all be scrapped, which greatly wastes manpower, material resources and time. Prototypes are generally a small number of samples, the production cycle is short, and the consumption of manpower and material resources is small. The shortcomings of product design can be found out quickly and improved, providing a sufficient basis for product finalization and mass production.

The above content is the difference between the prototype model and the mold, and I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
