Friends who are in this industry must know that prototyping is a verification process that must be carried out before mass production of products. There is also a situation where the product quantity requirements are not high and the performance is not that high. It can also be produced in small batches. Products, so what methods can be used for small batch plastic prototype processing? Next, the editor of Xiehe Processing Factory will briefly introduce it to you.

1. Small batch production of silicone replica molds

The process flow of small batch production of silicone replica molds is to first 3D print a product model as a mold, and then use this mold to fill the surroundings with silicone to make a silicone mold. After the mold is dry, take out the mold and it will become Get a silicone mold, fill it with the corresponding plastic material, and you can produce plastic prototypes in small batches.

There are many materials for small-batch production of silicone replica molds. The most common materials are ABS, pla, pc, soft rubber and other materials. For some products with relatively simple structures, silicone replica mold production is still a good choice.

2. 3D printing nylon small batch production

3D printing is a new processing technology. Because 3D printing nylon materials have good physical and mechanical properties, they are suitable for making functional prototypes and end products in some industries. In particular, some industrial parts with complex structures can be 3D printed with nylon materials.

3D printed nylon material prototypes do not require support, so they are suitable for more complex structures. The material has high strength, good toughness, and fast printing speed, making it suitable for small batch production of prototypes.

The processing cost of small batch prototypes is cheap, and the manufacturing cycle is short. Small batch production generally refers to the quantity of dozens to hundreds. If these prototype models are processed by CNC, the cost and time consumed will be very high. Although 3D printing will be very efficient

The above content is the processing method of small batch plastic prototypes. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. If you want to know more about CNC processing factory, please call Xiehe processing factory, we will serve you wholeheartedly.
